Tomatoes and Eggplant

[PanchoHambre]

Always a sucker for a "bargain" today during my lunch break I picked up about 4 lbs of Roma Tomatoes and 3 medium Eggplants that were on sale (due to thier being a bit ripe)

So Tomatoes and Eggplant a natural duo...but I have no immediate use so I am looking for some way I can cook up a big batch of something that will keep for awhile or freeze well.

I am also looking for some ideas outside of the ratatouille/ eggplant parm arena I always do Italian so maybe someting with different flavors.

I have about half a jar of Kalamata olives looking for a use, some fresh parsely, dill, fennell and a dwidling supply of dried herbs. I have plenty of Mint (as perviously mentioned now frozen, dried and growing in a pot) brown rice onions potatos and a sack of purple potatos (with another intended use but whatever)

For meats I have chicken thighs and legs and a meatloaf mix pack although I would prefer a vegetarian dish of something that could be eaten with or without meat.... so as not to exclude.

This one always makes me drool. Serve over pasta w crusty bread & salad.

I've made these before sticking to the recipe, I've also made them by slipping a thin slice of tomato and the basil into them and skipped the topping part.
Yummy!
