Char-Baked Tomato, Zucchini, And Eggplant

A vegetable side dish — or vegetarian main dish — that even those who think they hate zucchini and eggplant will love. The trick to this dish is to bake it much longer than you might expect and keep pushing down the mixture with a spatula to release the moisture. When it's done, the vegetables will be deeply caramelized, soft, and luscious. From Lucinda Scala Quinn's "MAD Hungry: Feeding Men and Boys." See all eggplant recipes.
