Directions
Eggplant (Aubergine) Casserole — Perfect for Passover, This is one of my most successful attempts at getting my BH to eat something he claims he hates BH despises eggplant, or so he says I started making this about 5 years ago (got the idea from my upstairs neighbor) I haven’t yet told him about the secret ingredient Don’t you dare tell him either!, I’ve made the vegan version of this several times and love it–basically the same recipe with a little more eggplant and sauce and no cottage cheese Tonight I decided to make it as a dairy main dish and found this I did make a couple of changes — I cut the cottage cheese in half, but added 5 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese – 2 ounces in the layers, and 3 ounces on top for the last 10 minutes of cooking I also still used a medium eggplant and an 11 ounce can of tomato-mushroom sauce, per the vegan version of the recipe It came out really well!, First things first – this is a 5-star recipe on taste I made it for a vegetarian Passover seder and people loved it That said, this is the second time I’ve tried it, and it’s a little confusing For example, at what heat should the onions be sauted at and at what heat should the mix of the first 8 ingredients be covered for 15 minutes to cook at? Should the liquid of the canned mushrooms go in with the mushrooms? (I figure yes to make sure there is enough liquid to look the sauce down, but not sure) Also, the chopping alone for this recipe takes me at least 15 minutes, plus measuring out other things, the pre-baking cooking, etc so I have found the estimated time to prepare the total dish (prep + cook) to be hugely misleading (And yet – I am making it again, because it was tasty and people really enjoyed it and I have leftover farfel!)
