"I'd never tried eggplant until earlier this week when I found myself the proud owner of 3 eggplants. This is one of the dishes I tried and loved. It was found in the Moosewood Cookbook. This is really good with pasta or rice. It's also good on bread. If you drain any excess liquid from it you can even use is as a filling for crepes and omelets."
