Directions
Aegean Eggplant (Aubergine) -Tomato-Orzo Casserole, Created for the RSC Summer 2005 contest I must admit that if I hadn’t needed the orzo to make up the 5th ingredient required for the contest, I would have omitted it You can peel the eggplant if you want; I don’t bother, but I do wash it , This was quite good My husband, who claims to dislike eggplant, had two helpings Two things I did differently were leftover rice on the bottom instead of orzo and feta cheese along with the parm and olives on the top Next time I will peel the eggplant and maybe double the sauce Thanks echo!, Created for the RSC Summer 2005 contest I must admit that if I hadn’t needed the orzo to make up the 5th ingredient required for the contest, I would have omitted it You can peel the eggplant if you want; I don’t bother, but I do wash it
