Israeli Couscous, Eggplant and Tomato Gratin

Israeli Couscous, Eggplant and Tomato Gratin

It hasn’t worked for me with kale or spirulina, but I’m willing myself to love eggplant. As you know, if you have been reading this blog, eggplant and I have a fraught relationship–a bit like Donald and Melania. Eggplant recipes, especially ones that tout their world-class deliciousness, reach out to me but I don’t always reach back.

This is a very good recipe, again one adapted from the pages of The New York Times. The Times, by the way, has launched its food pages as a separate subscription service. For $5 per month, you can access thousands of recipes from great chefs like Martha Rose Schulman, Melissa Clark and David Tanis. It is a bargain, believe me. I read a lot of food sites (insomniac that I am) and the quality and breadth of the NY Times recipe archive is exceptional.

Here is the eggplant recipe. I loved it. My neighbors Gene and Sarah loved it. You will, too.

This is my adaptation of a Martha Rose Schulman recipe from The New York Times and the Tomato Sauce Provencale recipe I posted earlier in the week. Here is the link to the original recipe: NY Times: Israeli Couscous, Eggplant and TomatoGratin .

  • Lorraine, you are absolutely right, this dish was delicious! ….made it for 6 last night (and we have enough for a side dish tonight) and it reminds me of an eggplant lasagna….easy to make and so good. Yumm!

    • Thanks, Marion. I’m glad you and your family enjoyed the dish. I thought it was excellent, too. I think I’m beginning to warm up to eggplant. Who knew?
