CHEESY EGGPLANT RICE CASSEROLE
I am always looking for new and different ways to serve eggplant. I wanted to try using it with a starch for a hearty side dish that is also light and full of veggies. This recipe is the result of my experiment. It turned out luscious.

Steps:
- 1. Salt diced eggplant heavily and cover with water. You may have to use a weight to keep the eggplant submerged. Refrigerate and soak several hours or overnight. Drain and rinse.
- 2. Add butter to skillet and saute onions and peppers until they start to soften, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute more.
- 3. Mix together all ingredients in a bowl (reserve 1/2 cup of cheese), add salt and pepper to taste and pour into a 8x12 prepared pan (or 9x13 depending on the size of your eggplant).
- 4. Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake 5 minutes more. Serve hot.
