Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 medium eggplant

1/4 cup olive oil

salt & pepper to taste

1 medium onion -- diced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

3 medium tomatoes -- peeled, seeded & chopped

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon dried basil

3/4 cup ricotta cheese

1 egg

2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese -- divided

1/2 cup heavy cream or nut cream

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1 pinch ground allspice

 

Cut eggplant lengthwise into 3/4-inch slices and place on a baking sheet. Brush

slices with olive oil on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place

under a broiler and cook until eggplant is softened and browned on both sides.

Set aside.

 

In a skillet on medium-high heat, saute onion and garlic in remaining olive oil

until onion is translucent. Add tomatoes, sugar, basil, salt & pepper, and cook

for 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.

 

Combine ricotta, egg, 1/2 of the Parmesan, cream, parsley, nutmeg, allspice, and

salt in a bowl. Place a layer of eggplant in the slow cooker, cover with 1/2

the tomato sauce, and layer remaining eggplant over sauce. Pour remaining

tomato sauce over top layer of eggplant, spoon on ricotta mixture, and sprinkle

with remaining Parmesan cheese. Cover and cook on low heat for 5 to 6 hours.
