Eatwell Recipe 28: Roasted Eggplant & Tomato Gratin

Eatwell Recipe 28: Roasted Eggplant & Tomato Gratin by Eve Fox

This is basically a delicious, low-fat version of eggplant Parmesan. Instead of breaded, fried eggplant, the eggplant is roasted and sliced, layered with a rich tomato sauce and freshly grated Parmesan, and baked in a hot oven until bubbly.Since I sometimes find the Recipes for Health a tad too healthy for my taste, I've made a few…

There are already quite a lot of recipes on my "to cook" list but I figured that if the guy who knows how to cook everything has singled this salad out as one of his favorites, it's gotta be pretty good, right?Plus, our arugula was just getting big…
