All my ingredients were homemade or garden fresh and this was wonderful. I did use more than the recommended broth in order to get the eggplant to "melt" into the sauce.This is also a very attractive recipe and Dh didn't seem to notice that he didn't have any meat with his dinner. Great recipe, Nicole.
