Asian Eggplant Stuffed with Spicy Minced Chicken

Pine nuts have a buttery texture and a nutty, slightly resinous taste. They add richness and a touch of piney flavor to the sweet, savory and spicy chicken filling. Slender Asian eggplant is milder and more tender than its globe-shaped cousins, making it the perfect canvas for the layers of textures and tastes in this dish.
