We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.
C.S. Lewis

INGREDIENTS

2 md Eggplants -; (abt 1 lb ea)
3/4 c Olive oil
1 lb Ground lamb or beef
(or a mixture of both)
1 Onion; chopped
2 Garlic cloves; crushed
1 ts Dried oregano; hand crushed
1 1/2 c Greek Tomato Sauce; see * Note 1
1 c Kefalotyri cheese; see * Note 2
Freshly-ground black pepper; to taste
Salt; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

* Note 1: See the "Greek Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this
collection. * Note 2: Available in good delicatessens.
Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick slices and sprinkle evenly with
about 1 1/2 tbs salt. Arrange in a colander and allow the vegetables to
drain for 1/2 hour. Rinse off and pat dry with paper towels. Heat a large
frying pan and add 2 tablespoons of the oil. Saute the meat, along with the
onion, garlic, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the meat is
browned and the onions clear. Add 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce and simmer
for 15 minutes longer. Set aside. Pan-fry the eggplant slices in a bit of
the olive oil, reserving 1/2 cup oil for the final step. Brown on both
sides. Place some of the meat mixture between two slices of eggplant and
arrange on an oiled baking sheet. Drizzle the top of each serving with the
remaining tomato sauce. Top with the cheese and bake at 350 degrees until
all is hot and very tender.
Comments: Prepared properly, eggplant is one of the most delicious
vegetables I know. This recipe makes a nice individual eggplant dish as
each serving looks like a little pie.
