    This recipe is as complicated as chopping vegetables gets....not hard. It does make a TON though, so next time I might cut it in half. I ended up freezing half this time. Substituted summer squash for eggplant and omitted parm cheese, tomatoes give it a great Ital. flavor! - 7/14/08

    I added garlic too, and my hubby added salt at the table, but it was very tasty, had a nice texture. The leftovers made a great base for a vegetable marinara a few night later! - 1/31/09

    This is a good & easy dish that makes A LOT! I used diced canned tomatoes, omitted the okra, used red pepper & added sliced fresh white mushrooms.
    The flavor is mild, so you can always add more "zip" to taste. It's good reheated & makes a nifty pizza topping.     - 6/20/09

    I thought this was very good overall. I am definitely making it again but I will swap out the okra...didnt care too much for it. I halved this recipe and it fed my family of five....so the full recipe must make a freezer-load!! I thought is was very flavorful and suprisingly filling!!! - 7/31/08

    I made this with more eggplant (because we love it) and no okra and was surprised at how good it was! I was doubly surprised because there was no salt or garlic added and we didn't miss either. The parmesan was perfect. Had it the next day with canneloni beans for lunch. Great recipe! - 1/26/09
