Eggplant Recipe

Would like to prepare an eggplant entree (main dish) for a dinner this weekend-- love eggplant. Anyone have any good ideas?

Thought of Imam Bayaldi, but can't find a recipe for it-- or any other good eggplant main dish. Thanks for your help!

Since I got a marvelous new Le Creuset gratin pan, everything is a gratin. This has become a favorite.

Peel the eggplant. Slice in half lengthwise and slice into half rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Peel a large onion, cut in half then in half rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

Spray a shallow ovenproof dish with cooking spray or oil with olive oil. Alternate rows of eggplant and onion slices, overlapping slices and rows by about 1/3. Salt lightly, Sprinkle with herbs of your choice. (We like basil, thyme and fennel seeds.)

Distribute a 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes over the top.

Slice a 14 to 16 oz. smoked sausage link in 1/4 inch wheels. Distribute evenly across the top.

Bake at 325 in the lower part of the oven for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.

Thanks Marlene! I was thinking about doing that. Are there rules to the recipe data base? Should I go in and add an ingredient list? Or is it ok as-is... After all, it is just an assembly thing.

Rules? Only that you can't enter anything copywrited without permission :smile: All I did was paste it into the instruction section, since as you say, it's really an assembly thing. Since there aren't a lot of ingredients, I didn't worry about pasting them individually as ingredients : :smile: I think it's ok as is.

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

oops. I'm told by the great god of eGra (vengroff) that the ingredients should be separated, only for consistency. He is right. (and he's my boss) And thus is born the second rule. Please be consistent in the format in which recipes are entered :biggrin: So I will re format the recipe to refect this wise and consistent rule :biggrin::biggrin:

edited because I can't spell.
