I love this stew as a side dish, pizza or pasta topping. Try it garnished with crumbled feta or grated parmesan.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the eggplant and put
it into a bowl with 1 teaspoon sea salt and the lemon juice. Let it
marinate at least 30 minutes while you slice the other vegetables.
2. Drain and discard the excess liquid from the eggplant. Put
the eggplant and all the other ingredients into a large mixing bowl,
including the other teaspoon of sea salt. Mix well and transfer to a
baking dish or crock. Make sure that the dried mushrooms and tomatoes
are covered by the other vegetables. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.
3. Taste the vegetables to see if they are as tender as you like them, and adjust the seasonings if desired.
