Eggplant Recipes

This weekend I went to "Your Dekalb Farmers Market: A World Market" and bought a nice looking eggplant. Now I'm looking for some good eggplant recipes to supplement my old standbys.

I'm a singleton so recipes that store well and result in good leftovers are especially welcomed.

Farmers Market find: Rhubarb

Rhubarb Crisp

Ingredients

• 4 C fresh rhubarb, sliced thin
• 1 t grated ginger root
• 1 t lemon zest
  
• 3/4 C sugar
  
• 1/2 C flour
• 1/2 C sugar

Topping

• 3/4 C flour
• 1 stick butter
• 1 T ground cinnamon
• 3/4 C rolled oats
• 1/2 C (packed) dark brown sugar
  

Procedure
In large bowl, mix together first four ingredients and let stand one hour.Add remaining sugar and flour and toss to coat. Spread mixture in a buttered 8X8 dish.

For topping:
In food processor, combine flour, butter and cinnamon. Process until smooth. Pour this mixture into a bowl with oatmeal and brown sugar, and mix until well combined (should resemble pie dough).

Crumble mixture evenly over top of rhubarb mixture.

Bake in preheated oven approximately 50 minutes, or until top is crisp and rhubarb is tender and bubbly.

This would also work with just about any fruit you can think of...especially apples and pears. Yum!
