Beef with Chinese Steak Sauce recipe

Basil eggplant is a simple recipe, and this version substantially reduces the unnecessary oil that usually plagues eggplant dishes. The basil and chile pepper turn the basic eggplant into something exciting. Use either the long, thin Japanese eggplants or the big purple globe/Italian eggplants. We love this recipe – even without the chile peppers. And we always serve with Jasmine rice.

Mushrooms baked in their own juices and cream. Make sure you have room for this scrumptious casserole that will have you scooping out seconds!
