   Put beans in a pot with the tomatoes, garlic, onion, 1
   ts salt, pepper & sage. Add 2 c stock & allow to
   simmer for 10 minutes.

   Meanwhile, cut eggplant & potatoes into rounds. Deep
   fry the eggplant in olive oil until they begin to turn
   golden. Do the same with the potatoes. Set aside.

   Now make the white sauce. In a small pot, gently heat
   the ghee. Gradually stir in the flour followed by the
   milk. Add a pinch of salt, pepper & nutmeg. Simmer
   gently for 1 minute.

   Grease the base & sides of a casserole. Put in a
   layer of potatoes, then eggplant, then the beans.
   Space out the allspice berries here. Cover with sauce.

   Bake at 375F for about 30 minutes, or until the crust
   is golden.
