Aubergines stuffed with Moroccan Chermoula

I got this recipe for Aicha  who had shared the  aubergines stuffed with chermoula on her instagram and they looked so delicious.  The dish turned out really delicious.  I loved the flavours in the Chermoula and stuffing them in aubergines made the taste exceptionally good.

What type of Aubergines should you use?  The best are the small ones as they stuff better and are easier to cook.  But if you are stuck any aubergines would work.
