It's a movie! It's a recipe! It's a movie AND a recipe!
Seriously, it's a great veggie dish, easy to make and great now that summer and fresh veggies are on the horizon! Amounts depend on how many you're feeding and how well they like veggies.
Yellow squash, sliced crossways (courgettes for our UK members)
Zucchini squash, sliced crossways
Eggplant, peeled and sliced into strips (aubergines for the UK folks)
Onion, sliced
Tomatoes, sliced, or canned tomatoes
Italian seasoning
Black pepper
Parmesan cheese
In a casserole dish, layer squash, onion, tomatoes and eggplant, seasoning lightly with Italian seasoning for each layer. If using canned tomatoes, extra salt will not be necessary. If using fresh tomatoes, a pinch might be a good idea. Add black pepper, to taste. Top with parmesan cheese.
Either microwave on high for about 7-10 minutes, depending on the wattage of your oven, until the veggies are tender, or bake at 350 degrees F. for about 20-30 minutes, until tender.
Another good microwave method for squash is to slice them, place on a microwave-safe plate, drizzle with olive oil, season with desired herbs and spices, top with thinly sliced onion and nuke for about 7 minutes. Yummy!
My mom cut this recipe out of the newspaper, probably 30 years ago, and it has been a family favorite since. Enjoy!
