Lamb and Eggplant Casserole

Kaitlin — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 10:00:27 +0000

I have made this Lamb and Eggplant Casserole, adapted from Maureen Abood’s Eggplant with Lamb, Tomato and Pine Nuts recipe, multiple times. And there is only one word for my feelings about this recipe: obsessed. This Lebanese dish made with layers of eggplant, spiced lamb, and tomato sauce topped with cheese is going to become one...

Smoky Baba Ganoush

Smoky Baba Ganoush is one of those appetizers that basically any time I see it on a menu, I feel the need to order it. The eggplant-based appetizer, originating from Lebanon, uses grilled eggplant, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a smoky dip that is perfect for outdoor eating. It’s also a great...

Sumac Scented Eggplant and Chickpeas

Kaitlin — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 11:00:47 +0000

Have you ever used ground sumac? Ground sumac is made from dried ground berries from the sumac bush, which is native to the Middle East. The flavor is similar to lemons, sour and tangy, but less tart than lemon juice. I purchased ground sumac a while back patiently waiting for the “right” recipe to cross... Read More »

Badenjan Chalow

Kaitlin — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 11:00:06 +0000

This month, Pomi asked that I try to create a recipe using one of their tomatoes paired with eggplant. I have been craving my favorite Afghan meal from a restaurant in Philadelphia called Ariana so my mind went immediately to trying to replicate it. The meal, Badenjan Chalow, is a lamb dish with eggplant, cooked... Read More »

Ratatouille

Kaitlin — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 11:00:00 +0000

With the influx of vegetables in my life from my CSA, I am swimming in quite a large amount of highly perishable produce. So to preserve (and use) a bunch of my CSA veggies, I decided to try my first hand at Ratatouille. I looked at a bunch of recipes online and they can get... Read More »

Roasted Eggplant & Feta Dip

Kaitlin — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 11:57:00 +0000

I am at a bit of a loss for what to do with eggplant. Eggplant Parmesan and Baba Ghannouj are the only two recipes I really know that use eggplant. However, I found a tasty sounding recipe from Eating Well that includes a bunch of other ingredients from this week’s CSA. Ingredients: 1 medium eggplant... Read More »

Eggplant Parmesan Stacks

Kaitlin — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 20:31:00 +0000

I received another eggplant in my CSA share this week so I thought I’d attempt Eggplant Parmesan. I saw this slightly different version of the recipe on MyRecipes.com, originally from Sunset Magazine and thought I’d give it a try. Ingredients: (makes 2 servings) 1 eggplant 1/2 tube cooked polenta Olive oil cooking spray 1 onion,... Read More »

Baba Ghannouj

Kaitlin — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 10:00:00 +0000

My CSA share came with eggplant this week. My mind went immediately to Baba Ghannouj, which is sort of like hummus with eggplant substituted for the chickpeas. The eggplant is grilled or baked before pureeing it to give it a smoky flavor. I have never worked with eggplant before, so I used Eating Well’s recipe... Read More »
