What's cooking tonight

[Guest guest]

For dinner tonight, I have a bulb of elephant garlic roasting in the

oven. Along with that are some Japanese eggplants, a red onion, and

several green bell peppers. I chopped them into big chunks, tossed

them with good olive oil, salt, and pepper, and put them on a cookie

sheet in a single layer. The oven's on 400F, and in a half-hour or

so, it will be perfect for having with some good bread (we have some

crusty olive bread). James needs more protein than I do, so I am

also roasting some tofu along with the veggies.

 

What are you having for dinner?

Hi i was just going thro' the old msgs and i thought perhaps i cud

share how we in india cook the roasted eggplant

 

Smear a big eggplant with oil (olive or sunflower) give it few jabs

with a knife and roast it on a gas burner till its completly cooked

in the inside

 

chop 2 onions, 3 to 4 garlic, 1 or 2 green chillies, couple of

tomatoes and one green bell pepper.

 

Heat oil about 11/2 tbsp and put in 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds and wen

it gives out a nice aroma (not blackened)add the onion garlic and

green chiilies.

Saute till brown .

Add the cooked brinjal after carefully removing the skin and mashing

it.

Add salt 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/2 of garam masala 1/4 tsp of

cumin powder and saute futher.

After 3 to 4 min add the chopped tomatoes and cook till the

tomatoes are softened up.

Squeeze 1/2 a lime and garnish with parsely or ciltrano.

We eat this with chappatis ie fresh home made wheat bread
