Eggplant/Squash Baba Ghanoush

July 21, 2016

I find it interesting that in all our eggplant recipes, we don’t have one for baba ghanoush. Well, that’s what I’m making from the eggplants in the box. Truth be told, it’s one of the few ways my husband will eat eggplant.

This one is from “Plenty More: Vibrant Vegetable Cooking from London’s Ottolenghi” by Yotam Ottelenghi and actually uses squash. I’m going to use up the squash from today’s box, but augment it with eggplant. This is a pretty fancy version, but worth knowing about.

Stuffed Eggplant

I love this vegan stuffed eggplant. I grew up eating bulgur but my mom never thought about seasoning it this way. The bulgur is delicious by itself, or stuffed into one of those eggplants in your box.

Layered Vegetable Torte

June 23, 2016

This one takes its inspiration from the New York Times. It will use the eggplant, squash, peppers, tomato, onion and garlic. There are a million vegetable torte ideas out there.

Ratatouille

July 31, 2014

This is James Beard’s recipe, adapted from his book, “Beard on Food.” You know – the James Beard of the James Beard Awards that our chefs are all so anxious to win every year?

This is a classic Provencal dish, perfect with grilled meat or fish or as a filling for an omelet or as dinner all by itself. The Beard folks note that in France it’s often presented as an appetizer with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar and a sprinkling of chopped parsley. Toss in one of those jalapenos if you like.

Thai Eggplant Curry

July 31, 2014

The directions specify not shaking the can of coconut milk because you want the liquid to have separated so you can spoon off the creamy top portion to start this recipe. As with all curries, use the vegetables you have on hand. The combination of sweet potatoes with eggplant and peppers is particularly nice.

Pressed Eggplant and Pepper Sandwich

July 25, 2014

Speaking of eggplants and peppers … I have a few left over from last week so I’m making this eggplant/pepper sandwich. You grill the eggplants and peppers, assemble the sandwich and then let it sit, pressed, to compress all those delicious flavors.
