aubergine for the win
October 4, 2007 at 8:05 am | In Uncategorized |
I’ve been craving basic vegetable dishes lately, so after getting a big serving of deliciously fresh, perfectly pressure cooked green beans drizzled with just a hint of seasoned rice vinegar yesterday, today was the eggplant’s turn. and "she" liked it.
I toyed with the idea of throwing in 1 28oz can of diced tomatoes [drained], but the smell and look of the eggplant alone were so appetizing that I nixed it.
it almost sounds ridiculous to tell you how I did it since it is so basic and simple, but here it is anyway.
1 small to medium eggplant, chopped into bite size pieces
1 T peanut oil [any oil will do]
2 medium garlic cloves, pressed
2-3 T chopped shallot
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
salt & pepper to taste [I didn't bother]
heat oil on medium high, add garlic & shallot, let cook for a minute. add eggplant, let cook on medium for about 8 minutes, stirring often. add parsley and let cook for another couple of minutes, or until eggplant is tender.
