Made it. It's amazing. Thank you to our friends from Finland!

EGGPLANT LASAGNA: Substituting thinly sliced eggplant (and/or zucchini) for lasagna noodles was a revelation for our family. My wife (who is not on the IP diet) loves this. When making for my family, I make half the pan according to IP Phase 1 and then add cheese to the layers on the other half.

INGREDIENTS:
400 g ground meat (I use chicken or a beef/ pork mixture)
Herbs (Oregano, Basil, Marjorum, Thyme, Garlic salt, fennel, etc)
1 Medium Eggplant
1 Medium Zucchini
2 cans "Chopped Tomato & Onions" (or Chopped Tomato + Jalepeno)
Fresh Tomato - chopped (optional)
Other vegetables to taste (Mushrooms, Red Bell Pepper)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Slice eggplaplant and zucchini into thin "noodle" slices. Set aside.
2. Cook ground meat with herbs of your choice (+ salt and pepper) until done.
3. Add any other vegetables you want to the meat (mushrooms, peppers, chopped onions, etc)
4. Add 2 cans of chopped tomatoes. Stir. (I sometimes add 1 packet Truvia or Splenda to mellow the tomato and add sweetness. Optional)
5. Add chopped fresh tomato (optional)
6. Line pan with sliced zucchini. Spraylightly with olive oil and sprinkle with herb salt if desired.
7. Add a thin layer of sauce.
8. Add layer of eggplant. You can add a dash of tabasco and salt/pepper if desired.
9. Add a thin layer of sauce. Repeat until pan is full or you are out of sauce.
10. Bake at 210 C for 25-35 min. I usually bake about 40 min to make the vegetables more tender. However, I recommend first baking about 30 min and taking a test bite. Vegetables should not be crunchy, but should also not be mush.

Some IP friends have suggested using Vegatarian Cheese on the top of this for a more authentic lasagna taste. I havent found the right kind here in finland.

For those not on Phase 1 IP, there is a similar South Beach Low Carb version here.
