Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).

EGGPLANT, POTATO, TOMATO CASSEROLE
I am really not a fan of eggplant - unless it's done this way! I found this recipe ten years ago, but haven't made it in a long time. My organic box had an eggplant in it this week, so I had to make it again. I made it with my own spin this time, marinating the tomatoes in a red wine/olive oil/fresh basil vinaigrette, and it was better than ever!

- Rub a small flameproof baking dish with the garlic clove. Layer the eggplant, onions, and tomato slices in rows in the baking dish. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake until heated through and the tomatoes are soft but still hold their shape, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking dish and set the oven to broil.

TOMATO AND AUBERGINE GRATIN
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees F/230 degrees C.

Then add the tomatoes and cook to a thick, chunky sauce, about 30 minutes. Remove the bay leaf, season with salt and pepper and stir in the fresh herbs.
- While the sauce cooks, brush the eggplant slices on both sides with olive oil and lay in a single layer on a baking sheet (you'll need to work in batches). Bake until golden and soft, about 15 minutes; turn and bake the other side, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

I found this years ago in a Canadian Living Magazine. I made it several times, then forgot about it until recently, only I couldn't find my copy of the recipe. Sooooo, I guessed at it and it came out pretty much the way I remember. My recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, but use at your own discretion.
