Name: Poor Man's Steak
Ingredients: Eggplant; Olive oil; Garnish (see instr)

For this implicit faith and total resignation of ourselves to the adorable Providence of God, willing nothing but what he wills, and because he wills it, is a state of mind whose excellency I cannot represent to you; it...makes our weakness as serviceable to us as our strength... Let me, therefore, entreat you to put on this temper; to lay hold of it with all your might; to make everything you hear or see or find in yourself, the world, religion, or Providence, so many fresh occasions of committing yourself to God by a faith without any bounds, a resignation without any reserve.

INSTRUCTIONS

Another eggplant recipe - adapted from the Romagnoli's
Slice eggplant about 1/4 inch thick across - use Sicilian eggplant if
possible, otherwise, salt it and let it drain for an hour
anoint with olive oil and put it on the grill oiled side down or annoint
both sides and put it under the broiler on a cookie sheet.
On the grill, anoint the up side.
When it starts to brown turn it over,  oiling the now top side
If you are using the grill you can now put topping on - anchovies, tomato
sauce, olive paste, sage leaves, cheese,  if using the broiler, pull out
when they start to brown, top and run under the broiler for another minute.
Great appetizers or side dish, transcendant in sandwiches the next day.
For extra pizazz, crush herbs in the oil a few minutes before anointing the
eggplant.  Serve the herbed oil with.
I once had to transport a batch of this, mixed toppings, to a wake.  I
stacked it up like pancakes. The flavoured oil which accumulated at the
bottom had people fighting for bread to sop it up.
