    3 Tbsp. olive oil
    1/4 c. pine nuts

    1/4 tsp. ground allspice
    1/2 tsp. ground cumin
    1/4 tsp. ground cardamom

    Preheat oven to 375�. In a small saucepan over high heat, bring

    Place eggplant slices on a baking sheet lightly coated with cooking
    spray or oil, and brush tops with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Bake
    until softened and lightly browned, about 20 minutes.

    In a medium skilled, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add pine
    nuts and saut� until golden, about 2 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and
    seasonings and saut� until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon
    juice, olives and canned tomatoes and cook until blended, about 2
    minutes.

    Reduce oven temperature to 350�. In a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly
    coated with cooking spray or oil, arrange in layers half of the
    rice, half of the eggplant slices and half of the sauce. Repeat the
    layers. Cover and bake 30-40 minutes, until bubbly.
