Instructions:• To make the caramelized onions, heat a medium
cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Pour the oil in the pan, then the onion, salt, pepper, and brown sugar. Stir for 3-5 minutes until the onion begin to soften and brown slightly.

Next, add 1-2 tablespoons ricotta cheese, then top with 1 tablespoon of the caramelized onions. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Eggplant With Whipped Feta & Tomatoes
Crockpot Mexi-Meatball Soup
Ingredients:• cherry tomatoes• 4 ounces feta cheese• 1/2 cup greek yogurt (I use Stonyfield)• 3 tablespoons olive oil• 2 tablespoons lemon juice• 16 ounce package Dominex® Eggplant Cutlets• 2 tablespoons chopped mint
Ingredients:• 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced Rotel tomatoes &
chilies • 2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth • 2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth • 1 package Dominex® Veggie Meatballs • 1 medium onion• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro• 1/2 cup long grain rice, uncooked • 2 teaspoons dried oregano • salt and pepper, to taste • sour cream • shredded cheese Instructions:
Roasted Tomatoes• Preheat oven to 250º. Cut cherry tomatoes in half.
Toss lightly in a bowl with 1 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake on a piece of parchment paper for approximately 1 1/2 hours. I always make extra when doing this, as they keep quite well in the fridge covered with olive oil. They are like sun-dried tomatoes and can be tossed into salads and dips.
Whipped Feta• While tomatoes are roasting, put feta, yogurt, 2
tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice in food processor fitted with metal blade. Mix ingredients until smooth. Taste, and flavor with salt and pepper (but remember feta is very salty).
• Bake Dominex® Eggplant Cutlets according to instructions. Flip halfway through. Top with dollop of whipped feta and 4 or 5 cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with mint.
Instructions:• Chop onions and cilantro.• Combine all ingredients in a crock pot.• Cook for 4 hours on High, or cook for 8-9 hours on
Low.• Serve with sour cream and a sprinkle of shredded
cheese.
