 Here's the recipe for my left-overs that I'm eating today.  It's one of my 
 favorite's.
 
 
 Fit In Your Pants, Eggplants (vegan)
 
 3/4 lb.	Eggplant, peeled and cut in 1 inch cubes
 1/2 c	onion, chopped
 3cloves garlic
 1 1/4 c veg. broth (I use "chicken" flavor)
 1/2 c   rice (whatever kind you like)
 1/2 t   thyme
 1 	bay leaf
 1/4 t 	cayenne pepper or pepper flakes (I used a little more 'cause I like it 
 hot)
 1 c 	crushed tomatos  
 	pepper to taste
 
 Saute onions and garlic in 1/4 cup of broth until wilted.  Add
 eggplant and pep per and mix.  Cook for about 5 minutes.  Add the rest
 of the ingredients and cook c overed until the rice is done (stir
 occasionally).  Remove the bay leaf.  This recipe really holds in the
 heat so let it cool in the pan for a while.  Enjoy
 
 *Note: Some types of rice require different water/rice ratios.  Adjust
 the bro th and rice quantities accordingly.  You may need to add a
 little more broth or water during the cooking process.  I think the
 eggplant soaks some of it up.
