Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/3 inch rounds
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup water
3 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups sour cream
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
paprika to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice and water. Place the eggplant slices into the lemon water to soak while you bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Drain and rinse the eggplant slices, then place them into the boiling water. Cook for 8 minutes, or until barely tender. Drain.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 2 quart casserole dish. Layer the eggplant slices, tomatoes and onion in the dish, sprinkling each layer with a little flour as you go. In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread this over the top of the casserole. Sprinkle generously with paprika.
  • Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is nicely browned and there is a bubbly sauce.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from the recipe. It was still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted sunflower seeds in the sauce. It was just as delicious!
