Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 large eggplant

1 medium onion -- chopped

10 ounces frozen chopped spinach -- thawed, squeezed dry

1 teaspoon basil

1/4 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour

2 cups marinara sauce

 

Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices - one per serving.

Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and cook the first side until it is

slightly browned. Then turn and cook the second side until the eggplant is

tender when pierced with a fork. Set aside.

 

Heat 1/4 cup of water in a large nonstick skillet and cook the onion over

medium-high heat until all the liquid has evaporated. Add 2 tablespoons of water

and stir to loosen any stuck bits of onion. Continue cooking until all the

liquid evaporates again, then stir in 2 more tablespoons of water. When the

liquid has evaporated, add the spinach and seasonings. Stir in the flour and

cook 2 to 3 minutes longer. Set aside to cool.

 

Preheat the oven to 350F. Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture across the

center of each slice of eggplant; then, beginning with the narrow end, roll the

eggplant around the filling. Arrange in a baking dish, seam side down. Top with

marinara sauce. Cover and bake for 20 minutes.
