2 med. to lg. eggplant
1/2 lb. lean ground lamb
1/2 lb. lean ground round
1 can tomato sauce
1 can Italian style cut tomatoes
1 med. yellow onion, chopped
1 red, green or gold bell pepper,
diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 tsp. fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 clove crushed garlic
2 tbsp. olive oil

Prepare the eggplant by peeling and slicing into 1/4 inch rounds.
Sprinkle the eggplant rounds generously with salt and let stand
until the eggplant sweats. Thoroughly wash off the salt, and then
squeeze the eggplant lightly and then dry. Brown off the ground
meat in the olive oil, and then add the rest of the ingredients.
Now layer the eggplant and the meat mixture alternately (eggplant
first) in a covered glass casserole. The last layer should be meat.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour. A variation to
this recipe would be to add a layer of Monterey Jack cheese
interspersed with the meat and eggplant.

Title: YUNNAN STEAMED POT CHICKEN #1
Categories: Chinese, Soups
Yield: 4 servings

4 lb Chicken, cut into pieces
1 ts Salt
6 sl Fresh ginger
2 Scallions, cut into 2-inch
– pieces
3 c Chicken stock
2 tb Rice wine or dry sherry

———————-DIPPING SAUCES———————-
Light soy sauce
Chili bean sauce
Chopped scallions

To make this soup, you can use a Yunnan ceramic steam
pot, a squat, rounded lidded vessel with an internal
spout that allows steam to circulate but not escape. A
heat-proof casserole works almost as well.

BLANCH THE CHICKEN for 3 minutes in a large pot of
boiling water. Remove the chicken and rinse thoroughly
in cold running water. Place the chicken pieces around
the Yunnan pot or on a rack set into a heat-proof
casserole. Sprinkle the chicken with the salt, and
scatter the ginger pieces and scallions over the top.
Pour in the chicken stock and rice wine or sherry.
Cover and gently steam on stove for 2 hours,
replenishing the hot water from time to time if
needed. Remove the ginger and scallion pieces. With a
spoon, skim off all the surface fat. Ladle the soup
into a tureen, and pass the chicken on a platter with
dipping sauces.

1 large eggplant
3 baking potatos (baked)
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup flour (use whole wheat)
1-2 tablespoon lite soysauce
2-3 teaspoon nutmeg (grated or ground)
1 liter (1 container) lite soymilk (vanilla flavoured is best)
1 pouch tofu mixed with 1 box tofu burger mix (use lowfat tofu)

Cut the eggplant into 1/4″ disks and lay the disks on an absorbent cloth
or paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and allow the eggplant to “perspire”
for 10 minutes, then turn the disk over and repeat. Rinse eggplant lightly
in cold water using a colander.

Prepare the casserole by covering the bottom with just 3 – 4 tablespoons
of tomato sauce. Put the soysauce in a cup and brush each disk (both
sides) with soysuace and place in a preheated, non-stick fry pan. Fry
until the eggplant turns transparent and begins browning. As each disk
is done, place it on the bottom of the lasagna dish until the whole bottom
is covered.

Now, add another 3 to 4 tablespoons of tomato sauce to cover the eggplant
and spoon the tofu burger mixture on top of the eggplant adding the remainder
of the tomato sauce on top. Slice the potatoes lengthwise (1/4 inch slices)
and arrange them in a layer on top.

Pour 1 container of vanilla flavoured soymilk into a large sauce pan and
heat (almost to boiling). Make a paste with some of the soymilk and
flour and mix the paste with the rest of the soymilk.

Add the nutmeg and paste to the soymilk and begin stirring. Eventually,
the soymilk will thicken. Pour this onto the casserole and
bake at 300F for 30 minutes or until the top casserole is browned.

Source:Sally Grande, Programme Director of the Toronto Vegetarian Association.
Makes: 6 to 8 servings

Notes:
Moussaka is a casserole made from eggplant, potato, tofu burger, tomato
sauce and soymilk. The distinctive flavour of this casserole lies in the
nutmeg used to make the soy-based bechamel sauce which goes on the top of
the casserole. This is a hearty dish which freezes well. A transparent
lasanga dish is preferable but any casserole dish can be used.
