EGGPLANT WITH CAPCISUM, MUSHROOM AND FETA CHEESE
From the latest WEEKEND magazine. Did you know that red capsicums are known as the "caviar of vegetables" and are even higher in Vitamin C than their green counterparts! They are also a good source of Vitamin A which helps heal wounds quickly and strengtens one's immune system. Capsicums contain a reasonable amount of folate and vitamin B6. They are excellent for those watching their weight. To enhance the body's absorption of Vitamin C contained in capsicums, one must eat 'em with iron-rich foods.

EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) AND FETA CASSEROLE
This is a new favorite of mine. I was blown away by the wonderful flavors. I'm not a vegetarian but didn't miss meat with this. The onions turn out still crunchy, which I liked but if you don't you might try sautéing them in a little oil first.

EGGPLANT WITH MARINATED FETA
What makes this simple, quick side dish so delicious is the feta, marinated in fresh garlic, lemon, and fresh oregano, that begins to soften and melt as soon as it hits the warm eggplant.
