Author's Notes: (from "Victory Garden Cookbook" maybe? Anyway, that's an excellent source for ideas).

You may wish to put a layer of onions on the bottom, horizontally, before you put the eggplant in the pan. This only works with European-style eggplant; Japanese and Asian eggplants are too narrow.
