Introduction
meatless. A native French speaker told me this is ‘stirred stew’ you may be surprised how good the finished blend is.A recipe you alter to taste of course. However, I keep the eggplant no less than half the beginning volume. At first it may seem dry, but all cooks down. Use a low heat and cover it. Fresh tomatoes do not improve it.
I used the mushrooms.

Chopped herbs like celery leaf, parsley to finish if you have them.
Dishes topped with cheese, especially goat, provolone or an ‘Italian’ mix are good hot.
Even cold as a salad it is good.
Fresh or canned mushrooms add savor.
Good herbs to try are: oregano, thyme, savory lavender, basil, sage, rosemary, bay leaf.
Herbes de provence is appropriate.
This came to about 60 oz volume, 6 good servings.
