As part of the cooking course assignment I had to get into the nutritional information of "prepared eggplant". I assumed there would be a recipe too and had bought this big chinese eggplant from the grocery store. There was no assignment but I had some leftover pasta sauce and hence decided to put that together with the eggplants to clean out the fridge. I had seen a similar dish in a colleague's lunchbox and decided to have a go at it. It was yummy and gone in minutes.
I made the aubergine two ways this time. 2 slices as below and the remaining I pan fried with Indian spices after seeing this recipe on a friend's blog. Both were delicious.
This recipe boasts of meeting almost all of one's dietary fibre intake for a day while being low on the calorie intake.

Ingredients (serves 1) :
- 1 large Aubergine/Eggplant
- 4-5 button mushrooms
- 1 small sized onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed
