EGGPLANT CASSEROLE
This is such a good and healthy for you casserole- even those that think they don't like eggplant will like this dish. A friend of mine served this at a church dinner. Of coarse I had to have the recipe, and now you can share too! I listed it as Italian, because that is what it reminds me of: I guess it has all the same...

Steps:
- 1. Cut eggplant into 1 1/2 inch slices or into 1 inch cubes- I like the slices. Peel skin, if desired. Soak eggplant pieces in salted water for 30 minutes; drain and pat real dry.

EGGPLANT CASSEROLE
This is one of my son's absolute favorites! Heck, all of his mother's cooking is his favorite! But he does love this recipe as do I. Not difficult, rather fast and easy to make too. For a vegitarian fare... just leave out the ground beef.

Saw this made on "The Chew" - recipe is from Mais Khoudrdaji. The recipe uses pomegranate molasses (available at Middle Eastern markets) in a meat/eggplant/tomato sauce and is then covered with a delicious garlic yogurt & pine nuts. Looked absolutely wonderful.

Steps:
- Cut the eggplants up into medium-sized cubes. Fry them in olive oil until golden brown, set aside and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Fry up 3 pitas, drain. Break up into pieces.
- Brown ground beef, onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Once the onions have cooked down, add the tomatoes and tomato sauce, and pomegranate molasses. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes; then add eggplant to the pan. Taste again for seasoning. Let it all cook together for another 15 minutes, until all the flavors combine. Should be a little tangy/sour from the pomegranate molasses.
- In a bowl, combine yogurt with the mashed garlic. It should have a garlicky taste. Season with salt.
- In a 13 x9 casserole dish, add bottom layer of broken pita pieces. Next fill the dish with the meat/eggplant mixture. Top with the yogurt mixture. Toast pine nuts in clarified butter. Top yogurt with pine nuts and butter. Garnish with parsley.
