Some of the harvest lingers, notably eggplant and the last of the zucchini, so it’s not too late to present Jonathan Benno’s handsomely made eggplant and squash alla parmigiana. And as this hearty baked vegetable dish suits the season, so does a sturdy red wine like Cornas, a regal expression of the complexity, dark fruit and spice of the syrah grape. Assembling the dish takes time. A wine that can age beautifully for decades deserves the effort. The eggplant can be prepared in advance and reheated. Serve it with grilled lamb chops strewn with black pepper, or by itself as a first course.
