YUM! This was absolutely delicious. I swapped yellow squash for zucchini (because that's what I had) and left out the mushrooms. Everything else was fresh from my Consumer Supported Ag box! I fixed it in my clay covered baker (pchef) and put it on the grill--didn't want to heat the house up. Perfect! SO GOOD!! My husband suggested that some cut up italian sausage or chicken would be a good addition. I think it would be also. We try and eat vegetarian about 3 nights a week. This is a keeper.

Soooo fantastic!!! I also used more oil for the eggplant, and it took a little longer to cook than expected. My suggestion is steaming it for a bit beforehand to make the frying (which gives it a nice taste) easier. I ended up using portabella mushrooms and goat's milk cheese (as we as parmesan), and it turned out beautifully...such a mix of flavours and aromas! This recipe is definitely a keeper :)
