Aubergine towers & roast tomato sauce

[Guest guest]

I tried this recipe, with a few modifications, and it came out really well. It

will make a good dish for company.

Aubergines are eggplants, of course. I used one big eggplant, cut it in half

crosswise so there were two tubes of eggplant. I don’t use raisins, so I

replaced the sultanas (white raisins) with small slices of Granny Smith apple.

I didn’t have any coriander.

I made it ahead and reheated it with canned tomato sauce on top.

Citizens for Pets in Condos has a petition to allow home owners in Florida to

have pets. Thousands of senior citizens in Florida have been denied the

opportunity to improve their health and well-being with pet companionship in

dwellings they own. Private home ownership should allow responsible persons to

keep pets.

 

Our web site has lots of information on the health benefits of pet companionship
