 Cooking Tips
*If eggplant isn't as fresh as you'd like, salt both sides and let drain for about 20 minutes to an hour. Rinse or scrape the salt off with a knife and pat slices dry with paper towels.
**Optional: As a variation, prepare beef or lamb meatballs ahead of time and add them to the dish here. Elisabeth's meatball recipe: ľ lb. ground beef or lamb, mixed with ˝ small onion and 1 garlic clove, minced; salt and pepper to taste - make meatballs small (1" diameter), sauté, drain on paper towels to remove fat, set aside. Note: You can also use leftover lamb or chicken instead of meatballs.
