Ingredients
2 eggplants, peeled, and
sliced very thinly
10 slice provolone cheese
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
8 oz whole milk ricotta cheese
4 oz grated parmesan or romano cheese
2 lb ground meat
= (beef, turkey or lamb)
1/2 onion, finely chopped
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 cup chopped celery
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
Olive oil, as needed
Italian seasoning, as needed
1 tsp ground cinammon
1 can no-sugar-added tomato sauce - (4 oz
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of a 9- by 13-inch
pan with olive oil.
Put a bit of olive oil in a frying pan and saute chopped onion, celery
garlic and about 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Saute for about 10
minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for another 5 minutes. Add the
ground meat and cook until meat is no longer pink. Drain any grease. Add
can of tomato sauce and cinammon and simmer for about 3 minutes.
Mix the shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, ricottta and feta cheeses in
a small bowl, and put aside.
In the meantime, salt the eggplant slices. I slice my eggplant one at a
time so I can cut them in half per recipe.
Put half the salted eggplant slices (one eggplant) in the bottom of a large
greased pan. Sprinkle with Italian seasonings. Layer one half of
meat/tomato mixture over the eggplant. Layer half of the the provolone
cheese and half the grated parmesan/ricotta/feta/mozzarella mixture and
spread over the provolone cheese.
Repeat the layering, add additional Italian seasoning. Bake in a preheated
oven for about 30 minutes, 325 degrees if using a glass pan.

Diet Grecian Eggplant Casserole Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a weight loss system invented by Dr. arthur agatston which encourages that one should consume "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Dr. agatston invented his dietary regime for his cardiac patients, based on his analysis of scientific data completed on other dietary studies. Approved foods include, lean cuts of beef, skinless poultry, clams, feta cheese, pistachios, nonfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, like split peas, cabbage and snow peas. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a nutrition system initially detailed by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an accompanying website. The Zone diet is not expressly a weight reduction diet, but many 'zone dieters' claim that they actually manage to lose a few pounds when following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you can limit the levels of insulin and glucogen (both hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids (anti-inflamatory chemicals) which puts your body in a balanced state that is more healthful than usual, known as the 'zone'. Sears holds the theory that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't need to convert surplus energy to fat. The main procedure of the system is to keep tight control over the exact ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to take increased levels of Omega 6 and omega 3 fish oils. |
