(Eggplant casserole with tomato and cheese)

Cut the eggplant lengthwise once, then slice crosswise into semidisks

on the narrow cut edge, to make a row, then fol- low this with slices
of tomato, then slices of mozzarella cheese. Repeat until the whole
dish is full. It should appear from the top to have bands of red,
white, and black.

Serves 4-6. 5 minutes preparation, 30 minutes to bake.
