Bake and cool a small eggplant; pull strands and chop (1/2" pieces). Spray
a wok; heat over high and stir fry the eggplant, tomatoes, garlic, ginger,
basil and salt and red pepper until the tomatoes weep and everything is
warmed through. Have the lettuce at hand, in a salad bowl. Turn off the
heat; squeeze the lemon over the vegetables add water if needed to prevent
burning and drying. Serve on top of the lettuce and crumble on the cheese.

Idea from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison (1997): "Baked
Eggplant with Feta Cheese and Tomatoes;" brown an uncooked eggplant, cut it
and toss with other ingredients: bake covered 375F about 40 minutes,
uncovered about 5 minutes.

NOTE: We made extra eggplant a few days before. CALS 116, 4.1g fat (2728%
