Added another couple of ideas at end

I didn't put enough sauce on everyone's plate, only about 1/2 cup or so, so I have a bunch left over. I'm wondering what to do with the leftovers? The best idea I've come up with so far is to make some mashed potatoes, put a well in the centre, and fill that with creamy eggplant sauce.

 

I think I'd look instead at some sort of color-contrasting topping. An herb garnish maybe, but I'd be more inclined to top it with some sort of meat and sauce. That could of course be because I first encountered it with the lamb dish I showed earlier. Meat braised with tomatoes? Sausages? Beef stew?

 

Or, if you want to avoid meat: Sun-dried tomato pesto? Roasted red peppers?
