I have a recipe for eggplant stuffed with risotto that calls for curry. I thought the curry was not going to work at all, and was going to use mushrooms instead of curry. I like the idea of rice and eggplant, but the curry...well, you agree that it's not going to work. Right? |

We're making quattro stagioni pizza, Neapolitan lasagne, thousand little things soup, fish in crazy water, grilled swordfish Sicilian style, etc., and we need a vegetable dish. I found this recipe in a risotto book ('Risotto' by Christine Ingram) and thought it could be adapted to go with our Neapolitan- Sicilian dinner. It's on page 29 of her book. If anyone has a recipe for risotto-stuffed eggplant that would be 'southern' I'd be appreciative if you could post it. Recipe calls for: rice olive oil white wine vinegar vegetable stock tomato passata curry parmesan cheese pine nuts |
