Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 large eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
1 large carrot, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 slices bread, toasted or 1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup textured vegetable protein (TVP) (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop eggplant first, and sprinkle the eggplant pieces with 1 teaspoons of the salt. Set this aside to sit while you chop the other veggies.
  • After about 15-20 minutes, place the salted eggplant in a colander and rinse it under cool water to remove the salt and bitter juices. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add the chopped onion and carrot and mix into the oil. Add the garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the Italian seasoning. Add the zucchini, and saute another 2 minutes. Add the eggplant, saute another 2 minutes, and then add the tomatoes. Remove from heat.
  • Season the vegetable mixture in the pan with the remaining salt and pepper. Whisk the egg, add it to the pan and mix this through the veggies, along with 1 Tb. of the parmesan cheese and the optional 1/2 cup of TVP.
  • Pour the veggie mixture from the pan into a casserole dish, and top off with the remaining 1 Tb. cheese and the breadcrumbs.
  • Cover the dish with foil or a lid, and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until nicely browned.

I'm allergic to eggplant, so I substituted zucchini. It turned out great!

This casserole is way too cheesy for my taste. I couldn't even finish it.

This casserole is a bit bland for my taste. I think it needs more seasoning.
