Eggplant Parmesan

== Description ==
Real vegetables and cheese go well and cook, as they are simply made with herbs and breadcrumbs and baked to a smooth aroma. Onion paste or shallots may replace the onions; chili powder and black pepper occasionally work in this recipe, too.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 medium eggplant
* 2 green peppers, chopped
* 1 cup breadcrumbs
* 2 onions, chopped
* ½ cup Parmesan cheese
* ¼ tsp. thyme
* 2 tbsp. chopped parsley
* 2 tbsp. oil
* 1 tsp. salt
* 1 tsp. oregano
* ⅛ tsp. pepper
* 3 tbsp. Tomato paste
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 3 teaspoons cloves, ground
* 4 cups grated Swiss or parmesan cheese
* 4 tomatoes, chopped
== Directions ==
# Preheat an oven to 375° F. Cut the eggplant into ½" slices.
# Cover the eggplant completely with hot water and let stand 5 minutes. Dry slices.
# Fry in ⅓ cup oil until lightly browned.
# Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put on the bottom of 9"x13" baking pan.
# Combine the next seven ingredients in a blender and blend well.
# Sprinkle mixture over the eggplant.
