2 eggplants

3 potatoes

3 red peppers

1 onion

Wash, dry and cut eggplants in ½ inch thick slices. Dip in flour, tapping excess. Put 2 inches olive oil in pan and fry eggplant. Do not brown. Drain on paper towel and set aside.

Cut peeled potatoes in ½ inch thick slices and fry, drain on paper towel and set aside.

Cut peppers in 1 inch slices and fry. Drain on paper towel and set aside.

Peel and cut tomatoes in chunks, brown onion in the rest of the oil in pan and add tomatoes. Let it reduce to a thick sauce.

Arrange vegetables in a round baking pan, bit enough to accommodate all the vegetables, starting with potatoes, eggplant, peppers and tomato sauce.

Bake in a preheated 375ºF oven for ½ hour, watching not to burn the top.

It is best served at room temperature.

This sounds really good. I can get fresh eggplant year round at our outdoor vegetable/fruit market. Are the red peppers what we call red bell peppers?

I think yes, they have meaty flesh and deep red color, and make the dish really pleasant.
