We All Have Some Cooking "Flops"
It wasn't a complete disaster, just disappointing. It seemed like a good idea to stuff the chicken with eggplant and cook it up with veggies.
As you can see, it looked nice, all dressed with squash, mustard and catsup, but I probably overcooked it. I went against one of my big cooking rules. I did overcook the veggies. Eggplant and chicken need different cooking times, so by the time I trusted the chicken to be finished--and it was rehated before Shabbat and on the platta (hot plate) for another couple of hours--yuck! I don't like overcooked food.

When I stuff a chicken (usually with leftover mushroom barley soup), I do it when the chicken is one half to three-quarters cooked.
Live and learn. When I was twenty, I learned never to put eggplant in a soup. Too bitter.
Leora, I had a very good eggplant soup at HaGov last year.
I should have added the veggies to the chicken later in the cooking or not had it on the platta so long. I'll probably try again...
