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.

Low calorie diet
In short, the low calorie diet says that in order to diet successfully, it is essential to eat less calories than you use. Definition of a calorie? The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. The calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If something has higher calories, then it will will give you more energy to use when your body digests it. Examples of low calorie foods include fresh green beans, carrots, grapefruit, canadian bacon, and low-fat cheese. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, leeks and welsh onion) The alliaceae range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is very little hard medical proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to aid in blood circulation, sterilization and physical exhaustion. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so should be included in every diet system. |
