GREEK STYLE STUFFED EGGPLANT/SUMMER SQUASH/ZUCCHINI
This is a great recipe for using up your bland summer vegetables from the garden. You can use it with eggplant, summer squash, zucchini, or all the above! I found that it is easiest if you break the work into two days, starting on a day when you will already have the oven on for something else. In the recipe I state "zucchini," but use whichever vegetable you have instead.
