     I made this today and wow, it was incredible. Maybe you should add that during the first 10-20 minutes frequent stirring is required because the onions and mushrooms don't generate enough fluids so they could be left alone. I didn't have any chili seasoning, so I used chipotle seasoning instead. - 9/16/07

     I was pleasantly surprised! I added .5 tsp. crushed red pepper. I oven roasted the veggies as suggested; there was very little liquid when I combined all the ingredients, so I added 1 can of beef broth. Very nice change of pace dinner! We'll add ground bison next time for more protein. - 1/3/10

     This is one of my favorite dishes to make! I use Diced Canned tomatoes with Italian Seasonings (basil, oregano, &garlic) for those who don't care for the heat of Szechuan sauce. In the summer I dont saute this I just throw it all in the microwave & cook until tender. - 6/9/09

     While it tastes 4-star good, I gave it 5-stars because it is so low-cal AND filling. I sprinkled smoked paprika and chipotle chile powder in my bowl before eating. Gave it a hearty "comfort food" flavor. - 1/4/10

     Made this last night for dinner. It makes a huge pot of stew, very low in calories and very filling. It was really tasty and I will definitely make it again. My only change was adding a hatch pepper with the onions instead of the spices at the end. I'm looking forward to the leftovers today. - 1/12/09

     Very Good & filling. Sometimes eaten with basmati rice, and fresh cilantro as a garnish. - 4/14/08

     Great Recipe! I used tiny cauliflower flowerettes that I cut and tiny cut green beans instead of the squashes then added lentils from my leftover dinner last night. It's great to have another eggplant recipe! - 3/17/10

     This is a good winter lunch and dinner meal. - 12/14/08

     I really like this recipe because it calls for all the vegatables I like, except for mushrooms so I just lefted them out. I had to use some low sodium chicken broth to the stew to make it a little soupy but not to soupy. Overall, I love this recipe, it's low-calorie, tastes great and will make again - 2/11/10

     I made this in the crock pot and thought it worked out really well, but my husband wasn't too fond of it. Step-son called it "Odd but ok...I guess" in teenager-speak. - 2/27/09

     I roast the egglant, some sweet peppers and a clove of garlic for 15 min (peppers) or 40 min (eggplant and garlic) at about 400. I served it over poppy seed polenta - 1 cup polenta, 5 cups veggie stock, and 2 teaspoons poppy seeds. - 5/28/08

     We had for dinner last night, very good. Great way to eat eggplant. I didn't have mushrooms, but did add orange bell pepper and some leftover frozen lentils. Will make again. - 12/31/09

     Yum. made this on a cold day in Florida - it's 43 degrees here. didn't want to go the store so didn't use the summer squash & zucchini. added 1 tsp of chopped jalapenos with onions for a spicey kick. This meal was awesome. - 1/21/09

     TERRIFIC, THANKS - 12/14/08

     I seem to be completely incapable of following a recipe -- I ALWAYS make tons of changes. But I do read recipes for ideas, and this one has an excellent idea -- a ratatouille-like soup with garbanzo beans for protein mixed with one of my favorite dishes, szechwan eggplant. Yummy! - 3/27/10
  • GKIBIGER
     Soooooo goooood. I did add the Chick Peas for the protein. I oven roasted the vegetables rather than saute. Just personal preference. - 2/21/09

     Delicious! One cup really filled me up. I made the whole recipe and will eat for lunches and freeze for future quick meals. I put Sriracha in and it gives my mouth a nice glow. - 1/13/09
