For Whom the Bell Pepper Tolls

Jaqueline Girdner's book, "A Sensitive Kind of Murder"


Recipe Introduction




This is the only recipe offered in Girdner's book, "A Sensitive Kind of Murder". Her book includes many descriptions of vegetarian foods and I wish she included more of the recipes. I'll translate the recipe into cooking terms but if you get a chance to read her book, be sure to read the recipe. It's very entertaining reading!

1/2 c eggplant
