Recipe by Crainny: Rich Eggplant Casserole/saved
A nice veggie dish. Used fresh from the garden veggies.
Sweated all the veggies, not just the carrot and onion. Probably made the dish a little more oily than it should.
Not sure what layering does, since it's going to be stirred up at the end.
Veggies released a lot of water. No way was the sauce going to be thick at the end.
Recipe doesn't say when to layer in the zukes.
A lot of good flavor. I miss my meat. I was thinking maybe some pepperoni would be a nice touch.
Used the top half of regular celery as a sub for Chinese celery.
Recipe picture looks more chunky than the 1/4' strips I made. (My interpretation of the directions).

Now that is one casserole that looks good for you. Did you press the eggplant as instructed? Seems that would pretty much smash down a 3/8" slice of eggplant.

Eggplants are pretty resilient when raw. Used the cutting board on top of them weighted down with a stock pot.
Maybe I could've halved the recipe. It sure makes a lot.

I went to strain out the liquid so I could refrigerate the dish but found there was hardly any liquid in there.
Was it a figment of my homoginization or did the liquid become readsorbed.
