I love this vegan stuffed eggplant. I grew up eating bulgur but my mom never thought about seasoning it this way. The bulgur is delicious by itself, or stuffed into one of those eggplants in your box.
Stuffed Eggplant

Layered Vegetable Torte
This one takes its inspiration from the New York Times. It will use the eggplant, squash, peppers, tomato, onion and garlic. There are a million vegetable torte ideas out there. I like this one right now because it calls for grilling the vegetables. That’s a way to keep the heat out of the kitchen as much as possible. And adds another layer of flavors to the dish.

Ratatouille
This is James Beard’s recipe, adapted from his book, “Beard on Food.” You know – the James Beard of the James Beard Awards that our chefs are all so anxious to win every year?
This is a classic Provencal dish, perfect with grilled meat or fish or as a filling for an omelet or as dinner all by itself. The Beard folks note that in France it’s often presented as an appetizer with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar and a sprinkling of chopped parsley. Toss in one of those jalapenos if you like.

Grilled Sausage and Eggplant Parmigiano Pizza
Are you game to try grilling a pizza? Seems like a great way to entertain as nights get just a little bit cooler. I’ve adapted this recipe from the August 2010 issue of Fine Cooking magazine. Substitute store-bought pizza dough (Trader Joe’s has balls of white and whole wheat pizza dough for about $1 each.) if you don’t want to make your own. No Riverview Italian sausage in your refrigerator? Run out to the Farm Mobile or one of their local markets this week.
Eggplant with Sweet Miso Sauce
Thai Eggplant Curry
The directions specify not shaking the can of coconut milk because you want the liquid to have separated so you can spoon off the creamy top portion to start this recipe. As with all curries, use the vegetables you have on hand. The combination of sweet potatoes with eggplant and peppers is particularly nice.
