Lynn's Cajun Pork Eggplant Dressing
1 lb. raw pork sausage
1one-half cup chopped onion
one-half cup chopped bell pepper
one-half cup chopped celery

one-third cup dark roux
1 tablespoon Creole Seasoning
2-14 oz. cans beef broth
1 large eggplant, peeled & diced
(Approximately 6 cups)
6 cups Toro Brand cooked rice
one quarter cup chopped green onion
one quarter cup chopped parsley
Squeeze pork sausage out of casing into saucepot and cook over medium heat
until completely browned.
Add onion, celery, bell pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and
roux. Cook for additional 5 minutes, stirring until roux blends with onion
mixture.
Add Creole Seasoning and beef broth. Bring to boil, cover and reduce heat
to simmer for 20 minutes.
Uncover and add eggplant. Bring back to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for
additional 30 minutes. Uncover and simmer for 5 minutes
Stir in cooked rice, green onions and parsley.
Yields 8-10 servings.
When smothering down the eggplant like we are doing in this dish it is not
necessary to salt the eggplant prior to cooking
Almost any event will put on a new face when received with
cheerful acceptance.
