	Chefmeow / All my dishes 2 years, 7 months ago This is good as a main dish with a green salad or as a side dish with pork or chicken. It is such a magnificent blend of unique flavors. It's herby, cheesy, saucy, tomatoey, beefy and the awesome taste of eggplant rises above all. We love it and know you will to. Enjoy.... More Prep:20m Cook:45m Servings:4	Chefmeow

Delish!

I (as always) had a few minor modifications:

No beef, used chicken instead
Had no tomato paste, used sauce, cooked it a little longer to get rid of the extra water.
Had no eggs :P
Omitted the green pepper (didn't have any)
Used white wine instead of red (to go with the chicken, of course)
we like spicy stuff, so added about a half tsp red chili flakes.

Very, very good, regardless. Thumbs up!
