grew some Trombocino Squash this year. long Zucchini type, the flesh is firmer
makes an excellent Chip Roast vegetable. Zucchini would seem to be too mushy.

2 cups canned tomato sauce

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  3. Combine the jalapeños, tomato sauce, sour cream, and cumin; mix well. Pour over the eggplant rounds. Layer the cheese over the top.
  4. Bake for 45–60 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the eggplant is tender.
