Steps:
- Combine eggplant with 3 tablespoons of salt in bowl and cover with cool water. Set plate on top and weight to keep eggplant submerged. Set aside for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Set aside a half-cup of onion for topping. Combine remainder with a quarter-cup of oil in a heavy skillet and set over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are pale caramel and very soft, almost melted into oil, 20 to 30 minutes (watch carefully to prevent burning). Transfer to a bowl, leaving as much oil in the skillet as possible.
- Meanwhile, toast almonds in 1 tablespoon of oil in small skillet over medium-low heat until golden and crisp. Remove and add to onions. Add pine nuts to the skillet, with a little more oil if necessary, and toast until golden. Remove and add to onions.
- In same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and toss the cilantro with garlic until wilted. Add to onion and nut mixture, with a heaping tablespoon of the spice mixture (cumin, coriander, black pepper, allspice and nutmeg) and lemon juice. Stir to mix well. Taste, adding more spices or lemon juice, if desired.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add another half-cup of oil to skillet in which onions were cooked and set over medium-low heat. When oil is hot, add potato slices. Cook on both sides until they are lightly golden and start to soften. Transfer to 9-x-12-inch oven dish. Line bottom of dish. Distribute a fourth of the onion mixture over the top; it will not cover the potatoes.
- While potatoes are cooking, drain eggplant and dry with paper towels. Add more oil to skillet, if necessary, and cook eggplant slices on both sides until lightly golden. Use half the slices to cover the bottom layer, setting aside the other half. Distribute another quarter of onion mixture over eggplant.
- In skillet cook squash or zucchini slices on both sides until lightly golden (add more oil if needed). Arrange over eggplant and distribute some of remaining onion mixture on top. Top with reserved eggplant slices and remaining onion mixture.
- Arrange tomato slices on top, then sprinkle with peppers. Distribute reserved half onion over the top. Sprinkle with salt, and squeeze the juice of one lemon over it. Add about a half-cup boiling water, dribbling down around edges of pan. Transfer to oven and bake 20 to 30 minutes, or until top is starting to crisp and juices are bubbling.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately; or set aside to cool to slightly above room temperature before serving.

RAWIA BISHARA'S BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH TAHINI SAUCE
This recipe is a mashup from Rawia Bishara, who has gradually adapted the home cooking of her childhood in Nazareth to the tastes of Brooklynites at her restaurant, Tanoreen. She'd never cooked Brussels sprouts before she arrived forty years ago, and she said that at first, deep-fried was the only way her children would eat them. We modern cooks may prefer roasting for a weeknight dinner, but the golden, crisp fried version should be experienced at least once. Sesame is one of the most universal flavors of the Middle East, and the base for many of its staples: tahini (sesame paste), hummus, halvah, and the spice mix called za'atar. But straight tahini sauce, with sesame, garlic, and lemon juice, comes on a little strong. The sweet sharpness of pomegranate molasses provides a counterpoint to the rich sesame, and yogurt lightens the mixture.

Steps:
- Make the sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine the tahini, garlic, 1/3 cup lemon juice and 1/3 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth. Add the yogurt and pomegranate molasses and blend again. Add more salt or lemon juice to taste, then set aside.
- Make the sprouts: If frying, pour 1/2 inch corn oil in a deep skillet. Heat until very hot but not smoking. (Test by gently dropping a half sprout into the oil; when oil is ready, sprout will pop loudly and sizzle immediately.) Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, fry sprouts until browned and crisp but still bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain.
- If roasting, heat oven to 375 degrees and place a pan of water on the bottom shelf to prevent sprouts from drying out. Toss sprout halves in about 3 tablespoons corn oil until slick, but not dripping. Spread them out on 2 sheet pans and bake until tender and browned, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs: in a small skillet, heat olive oil over gentle heat until medium-hot. Add garlic and stir; it will sizzle. Immediately add bread crumbs and stir until toasted and golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in salt, then remove to paper towels to drain.
- When ready to serve, spread cooked sprouts on a platter. Drizzle with about 1/2 cup sauce and top with bread crumbs. Tuck in lemon wedges around the edges and sprinkle parsley over the top. Serve immediately, passing any extra sauce at the table.
