Ingredients of the week: Eggplant and Cauliflower

This week I made a fabulous dish which can work either as a vegetarian main dish or a side dish.  It incorporates lots of yummy and healthy ingredients:  veggies, beans, and rice.  Plus, it enabled me to use two ingredients I don't normally use!  I had it as a side with pork spare ribs, but it seems like it would be very versatile.  It is a bit of work (especially with so much soaking and straining), but I thought it was worth it.  Modification:  I forgot to get the yellow split peas, so I just upped the mung beans and lentils to 4 oz each.
