     Title: EGGPLANT ROMA
Categories: Vegetables, Deal-a-meal, Sparkie
     Yield: 1 servings

     4 ts Olive oil
     1 lg Clove garlic, minced
   1/2 c  Chopped onion
     2 c  Peeled, cubed eggplant
 1 1/2 c  Peeled, seeded, chopped
          Tomatoes
          Salt and pepper
 1 1/2 ts Balsamic vinegar
   1/4 c  Chopped, fresh basil or
          1-1/2 ts dried basil
     4 ts Toasted sesame seeds

  1.  In medium skillet, heat olive oil, and saute
 garlic and onion until
      onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2.  Stir in eggplant and tomato.  Sprinkle with salt
 and pepper.

  3.  Cover and cook over low heat until eggplant is
 tender, about 10
      minutes.

  4.  Stir in vinegar and basil.

  5.  Cook uncovered 5 minutes longer, stirring
 occasionally.

  6.  Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  NOTE: 1 teaspoon sesame seeds = 15 calories (1 joker).

  If you can't find balsamic vinegar, (I hope you can
 because it is delicious), try malt vinegar or red wine
 vinegar, or natural rice vinegar.
   Be adventurous.  There are lots of vinegars out
 there.

  Know your vegetables.  Choose an eggplant that has a
 smooth, glossy surface.  Avoid an eggplant that is
 dull looking and/or soft.
