Hlnes South African Casserole, I can’t vouch for the authenticity of this dish as actually being South African but I can assure you that it is different and delicious My mom’s vegetarian friend brought this over to a potluck Christmas lunch when we were kids Naturally as a family of serious carnivores we were suspicious of vegetarian health stuff and to say that us kids were fond of eggplant would be a gross understatement! We hated the stuff! So it was only under extreme pressure and outright threats from mom that we tasted this just to be polite The fact that I am making this some 25 years later tells you that it’s good Vegetarians surprise your carnivore friends with this tasty side dish every time Oh and by the way it’s goes great with a roasted or stewed lamb! LOL, This was nice I like not having to pre-fry the eggplant I halved the amount of cheese, as it is so fat My kids did not eat this so I have to keep this for adult guests , Very nice and easy to make Will definitely be added to my vegetarian collection Having a vegetarian daughter I am always on the lookout for something new Thank you
