Recipe for eggplants stuffed with tofu step by step

We peel the 4 eggplants and cut them lengthwise so we can put the filling inside.
We put the eggplants in a pot with slightly salted water and leave them boiling for about 10-15 minutes so that the pulp inside softens.
Meanwhile, chop the peppers and onion.
Prepare the homemade fried tomato sauce: peel the tomatoes and crush them.
We put the crushed tomatoes in a pan with oil, together with salt and sugar.
We cover it and leave the mixture for approximately 45 minutes. We have to go mixing and adding sugar during the course of these minutes.
Once the tomato sauce acquires a good texture and color, we put the chopped vegetables in a frying pan with a little oil, together with the tomato sauce, and cook over medium heat.
Once the pulp is soft, we extract it and also put it in the pan with the rest of the vegetables.
With a food processor we crush the tofu and put it also with the other vegetables.
We put the stuffed aubergines in a preheated oven at about 180º and let it bake for about 20 minutes.
Check the state of the stuffed aubergines during these minutes.
