______________________________________________________________
This is one of those recipes that I have had in my recipe binder for YEARS, but have never made. The basic idea is a flavorful, veggie rich meat pattie over a mix of arugula and watercress with an easy Asian pan sauce over the whole thing. We served it with rice, but any Asian noodle or brown rice would be good too. The eggplant really isn't necessary for a complete meal, but they are locally grown (hot house, again) and GORGEOUS. Since we love eggplant, it was a no brainer. The whole thing turned out great. We cooked the "steaks" on the grill since we had already heated it for the eggplant, instead of broiling as the original recipe suggested. It was pretty easy and very good.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Red pepper, scallions, watercress (stemming), eggplant (sliced)
Time: 45 minutes
Make ahead: You could make all of this ahead, but the greens are probably better last minute.

Reaction
J: "Yummy vaguely Asian fare!"
M: "Comfort fusion!"
