 Categories: Vegetables, Rice, Cheese
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
  1 1/2 c  Brown rice
      2 tb Virgin olive oil
      1 tb Butter
     12 oz Eggplant; in 1/2" cubes
      1 md Onion; in 1/4" squares

           +=OR=+
     15 oz Can Tomatoes; drained, in
           - large pieces
      4 ts Ground cumin
    1/2 ts Turmeric
    1/4 ts Ground ginger
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Fresh ground pepper
    1/4 c  Chopped parsley or cilantro
      3 c  Water
      1 c  Diced Provolone, Monterey
           - Jack or Muenster cheese
 
  RINSE THE RICE, cover it with water and set it aside to
  soak while you prepare the rest of the vegetables. Preheat
  the oven to 375ºF/190ºC. Warm the oil and butter in a
  large skillet. Add the eggplant and onion, salt them
  lightly, and rapidly saute them to distribute the oil.
  
  Cook over medium heat until the eggplant is soft but not
  mushy, about 5 minutes.
  
  Add the peppers, tomatoes, spices (including the pepper),
  parsley and more salt to taste. Stir carefully, combining
  everything well. Drain the rice and add it to the pan
  along with 3 cups water.
  
  Turn up the heat to bring the water to a boil, then
  transfer everything to a baking dish, such as a large,
  earthenware gratin dish. Lay a piece of parchment over the
  top, cover with foil, and bake until the rice is done,
  about 45 minutes.
  
  Toss the diced cheese into the rice and serve.
  
  Serves 4 as a main course or 6 to 8 as a side dish.
