Great idea, Paula ! Sassy ingredients. But I tried a major OVERHAUL! (;>\
My science kicked in when reading some comments! Thanks, ya'll!
Problem? Tasteless smooshed eggplant with NO texture. It was drowning in delicate delights and lost its identity. And poor little clams didn't have a chance either. They missed their chowder. A more intense seafood combination of crab meat and shrimp worked better!
My take-
Chunk- cut eggplant, coat pieces with an egg and MASO corn flour, cayenne, SEASONED salt; SHALLOW FRY in oil till toasty. Drain on paper towel;
Saute 6 oz. CHORIZO , drain, and place in bowl: ADD 1/2 diced red bell, 1/4 cup diced onion, house seasoning. Microwave 1 minute. ADD 8-10 oz drained crab meat, 10 raw peeled shrimp, 1/4 can CREAM of MUSHROOM soup. Layer in cassarole: fried zucchini, seafood mixture. Top w/ crushed Ritz-type crackers, remaining butter and crab liquor;drizzled butter and nutty TAHINI. Bake w/ foil cover till last 5 minutes. Cool. Zowie!

I was very nervous after reading the other reviews so I changed a few things and it was actually really good. Saute the eggplant with butter, a little onion and garlic and a little extra house seasoning. I also only used 1/4 cup half and half with about half of the clam juice so it wouldn't be "soupy". My husband ate almost the entire dish, I was impressed- it is worth trying.

Just awful, I should have known better after reading the recipe, instead of wasting food. I finally had to prepare another dinner, no one would eat this mess.

Awful, just plain awful. Tried feeding it to the dog, she sniffed it and walked away! Giving it 1 star only because 0 isn't an option.

After reading the advise of others, I added sauteed onion, garlic and lemon peel to the recipe. If I make it again, I will dice and cook eggplant for a shorter period of time. 10 min. was too much. I'd rinse it, as it was just a little too salty. Also, it only needed a splash of the *clam juice/half & half, and the cracker crumbs should be added as topping AFTER the *. Since my husband doesn't like the taste or consistency of eggplant, he didn't like it...perhaps some one can recommend a way for eggplant to taste crunchy like bacon - lol

It's so good I have to invent a word for it. Delorcious! I think for those who complained about the consistency and tasting bland, they did not season the water. I put some Goya Adobo. Next time, I will add lemon juice. It was a great taste for an unlikely combination. I can see where a better cook could respect the dish's ingrediedients and make it their own.

Eggplant and clams? I love clams. I was unsure of the eggplant and the combination. Made the dish (but used two cans of clams! One word... YUM!

Sadly, this was a bland mess. However, I HATE to throw food away, so I sauteed a healthy-sized onion and two cloves of chopped garlic with a pinch of Italian seasoning in olive oil. I added this to the leftover eggplant/clam mix...added more cracker crumbs and a beaten egg. I fashioned the leftovers into "cakes" (ala crab cakes. I sauteed the cakes in EVOO until golden brown, and served them with a relish made from chopped tomatoes, diced celery, chopped red onion, a diced nectarine,and minced green pepper. Add a dash of sugar, a pinch of salt and pepper, a splash of raspberry vinegar to the relish. Let sit. Served together, the "recycled" eggplant mix and relish practically sang to us! I usually am happy with Paula's recommendations, but Bo's recipe really needed tweaking.

My mom made it and it didn't last long! Next time we're going to double the recipe!
