i really hope you love eggplant
because
i have now gotten that cooking and peeling thing
down
i went to the farmers market
i bought 6 scratch and dent eggplants for two dollars
[in this case, scratch and dent just means
ripe and not too pretty]
so then i had to figure out what to do with em
i had not actually planned to buy eggplant
i was gonna do brown rice and broccoli for dinners
and tabouli for lunches [with quinoa]
but then i saw the eggplants
now
i thought about doing a bunch of different stuff with them
but
when you cook em in the oven like that
they cook down a lot
and the other ways i've cooked em
i use a lot of oil, or cheese, or whatnot
so i decided to go all in
i over seasoned it a bit though
i seasoned 1/2 in the first batch of food processing
but, in the second batch the roasted garlic was ready
next time i will just use roasted garlic and salt, i think
i mixed the two batches together and i didn't like it as well
i also made hummus
and
turns out roasted garlic was the missing ingredient there too
and smoked paprika
and for both these dishes
i think the tahini is more important that i thought before
this is the stuff:
it pours out of the jar
which works better
and
it tastes good
