Flavorful eggplant, hearty lentils and creamy ricotta come together as a trinity of appetite-pleasing goodness in this Mediterranean-inspired meal. If you have aged balsamic vinegar on hand, this recipe offers the perfect opportunity to use it. Since the vinegar is drizzled over the stacks just before serving and not mixed into a dressing, you'll be able to taste every delicious drop.
