I'm not really a dog person but that picture could turn me!!
I've been making a healthy version of eggplant parmigama - blogged here:http://funkbunnysgarden.blogspot.com.au/2012/01/harvest-monday-jan-23rd-and-recipe.html
I'm a dog person, two crazy poodles that think they own me. I use lots of eggpalnts. I love my bubbaganous? so easy with a food processor, and my family favourite Pasta Norma, Jamie Oliver does a recipe. Yummy your own passata and eggplant. Wicked!
we love ratatoullie: 1 whole eggplant, 2 red capsicum, mushrooms(optional), 2-3 zucchini... if you like the sound of it and can't find a good recipe i do have a good one i can scan and send you. Reheats to be even tastier the next days.
I place my vote alongside ratatouille (it's seriously easy, you can use any leftover mediterranean type veggies and add a can of tomatoes (one Tbs of tomato paste is good too, though optional) and then your favorite herbs like a bay leaf or parsley, oregano, basil, sage etc.).
It's so easy and is nice with crusty bread or rice (non-crusty rice haha).
I also like eggplant and spinach curry, kind of Palak Paneer style but I add eggplant so it's not just spinach.
Good old 'eggplant stack' (Eggplant slices, tomatoes, and some kind of cheese like bocconcini, mozarella or just plain cheddar) and melting it in the oven.
Stuffed eggplant is good too! Seriously- i had eggplant for weeks and weeks when i was doing FoodConnect farm boxes (seasonal produce). This is a long post about eggplant. I need to see you in real life! xox
Do a lasagna with thinly sliced eggplant instead of noodles. Seriously. So good. Just google it.

ReplyDeleteCute doggie!!
ReplyDeleteBut sadly eggplant is one of the only vegies that I don't like.
I do think that the lasagne sounded like a good idea though!
Gorgeous photo! Your dog looks just like my Daisy – I got her from the pound when I was 18, we think she's a Kelpie x Lab.
ReplyDeleteThere's an amazing eggplant, tomato and mint risotto in the Rose Bakery cookbook. I found a link to it here (on someones blog):

(And surprisingly eggplant is also quite yummy just steamed!)
