You don't need to be a vegetarian to enjoy the wondrous creations from Mother Nature's (or you local farmer's) garden. One of my most beloved and elusive veggies is eggplant. For many years I would never venture to purchase one regardless how tempting that beautiful purple globe is. Now however I am adventurous in the grocery shopping department. I had been eyeing this recipe for weeks now so on my last trip to the grocery store I went for it and picked up eggplant! My tomato sauce is stewing, my eggplant draining and thoughts of eggplant Parmesan are dancing in my head. It's a very simple concept, good tomato sauce and prepare the eggplant properly and you'll have even those that not fans licking their chops! I served this with garlic toast and a nice bottle of Australian Cab Sav. Did we miss the meat? Not in the least, and most went for seconds!
