Sunshine Citrus Chicken and Eggplant Fritters???
2008-06-07 19:45:00 Eggplant Fritters with Sunshine Citrus Chicken!Yesterday was the last day of school for this year. The girls were both super excited and so was I. I actually love the slower pace that we are able to enjoy in the ungodly hot months of June, July and August. We seem to be in our summer weather pattern already too (torrential rain and horrific thunderstorms every afternoon) which really inhibits what we can do later in the day. Of course we will still have the ice skating lesson 3 or 4 times a week and karate but at least it won't be so hectic. I also really am able to appreciate that I stay home with the girls. I love that we are able to spend a whole summer together getting to know one another!Fresh Ginger - the skin hadn't even dried out yet!Anyway for dinner last night I bought some boneless, skinless, chicken thighs (organic, free range, no antibiotics or hormones of course) and I marinated them in my Sunshine Citrus Marinade (I had some really old oranges and some really...

Spicy Eggplant Fritters with Yogurt Dip
2008-06-01 09:55:00 This is a wonderful dish when you have a crowd of people over, it makes a great dish, if making several like a buffet style meal or it also is a great appetizer to present while you are finishing up on the main affair. I prefer to serve it like this as they are really the best, eaten straight away, whilst crunchy and hot. It also gives your guests something to pick at, while they are chatting amongst themselves before a meal. These are also great to make as a snack, to sit and munch on, on a lazy Sunday afternoon whilst watching your favourite team play (don't forget your cold beer). I love the dip that goes with these and I feel it compliments all the flavour in the fritters very well. These are also excellent for vegetarian guests even the most strictest ones. I have had guests that can not even eat egg, these work really well as you just use egg substitute instead, I have been asked on more than one occasion for the recipe for these, so I hope you enjoy.If you have been keeping ...

Spicy Honey Glazed Grilled Eggplant
2008-04-23 03:53:00 When the nice weather hits, there are very few things better than veggies roasted on the grill. The smoky, indistinguishable flavor of your favorite vegetables can be enhanced by a whatever flavorings you choose. Tonight, I had planned to make grilled lamb chops and eggplant. Typically, I go with a Mediterranean feel for this - seasoning the lamb with garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and lemon juice; and marinating the eggplant in some balsamic vinegar and seasonings. Tonight I decided to go with a Moroccan-inspired feel: I used a Moroccan seasoning blend on the lamb, and prepared Spicy Honey Grilled Eggplant to go with it. For glaze which I brushed on the eggplant, I drew upon the sweet and spicy flavors I love in one of my favorite dishes, Mario Batali's Eggplant Caponata. We really enjoyed this variation, and the eggplant was probably some of the most delicious I've ever made.

Baked Eggplant Parmesan
2008-04-10 19:22:00 One of my early memories of helping out my mom in the kitchen is making eggplant parmesan once a month on Sunday evenings. As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to help in the kitchen. When I was really little, I was allowed to stir things (initially ones that weren’t on the stove, but as I got older, the stove was no longer off-limits) and I beat eggs on Sunday mornings for omelettes and stirred in seasonings, but I think that this dish was one of the first things with which she really let me get my hands dirty – both literally and figuratively. My mom would slice up the eggplant and prepare the bowl of dredging liquid (she used a thin batter made of chickpea flour and water), and she did all the frying. But I was completely in charge of everything else. I loved dipping my hands (oh, and the eggplant slices, too) into the dredging solution and then coating them in breadcrumbs. My hands would always end up a huge, sticky, crumby mess after completing a few sli...

Stuffed Eggplant
2008-03-14 19:00:00 I love eggplants. Most of stuffed eggplants use halved eggplants as shells, but I like them this way. I added lentils this time, but you can leave them out for a lighter dish.

Eggplant Parm That I Didn't Have to Cook
2008-02-18 08:25:00 I went to my parents' house for a couple days this weekend and pretty much did nothing. Well, that's not true; I actually got a lot of work done and about 8 loads of laundry. I also did some relaxing and ate a lot. When I go to my parents, I don't cook at all, because they are both amazing cooks and they spoil me like crazy. And not only do I sit around and eat gourmet food, I get tons of leftovers to bring back to my apartment with me. Life is good.Tonight they made Lighter Eggplant Parmesan and Tomato Sauce from the January/February 2004 issue of Cook's Illustrated and Meatballs from the January/February 1998 issue of Cook's Illustrated (yes, they are long-time subscribers!). Instead of being thin and soggy like eggplant parm so often is, this was thick, dryer (in a good way), and just pretty much the best eggplant parmesan I've ever had. If you don't know Cook's Illustrated, definitely check them out. Basically they probably made 100 different versions of eggplant parm in...
Stuffed Eggplant (Bharlele Vaingan )
2008-02-08 01:42:00 Every cuisine in India has its own version of making this Stuffed Eggplant delicacy. In fact even with in the same cuisine there are so many variations that it is hard to categorize this as belonging to a specific region. It majorly depends on the ingredients that go into the masala for stuffing. Making this is not an easy process either; it is time consuming, involves lots of steps and requires a person to have good amount of patience to put this together. Ample experience is also required to judge when to turn the eggplant around, adjust the heat variations for cooking, sprinkle water etc. Nevertheless the effort and patience pays off when the dish hits the table and everybody sits admiring at the ‘beauty’ and keep gorging on it.  Please note think that I am not trying to intimidate anybody about this. This is based on my own personal experience and I discovered it the hard way. I learnt this recipe from my MIL who is an expert in making this. In fact this is one of h...

South Indian Baby Eggplant Curry
2008-01-24 18:56:00 I don’t think I need to reiterate my love for eggplant. My mom has been making this dish for many years, but I never bothered to learn how to make it. When I was home this past weekend, I noticed some small eggplants in the fridge and my mom told me to take them with me and make this curry with them. I had never made it before, but she assured me it was incredibly easy to make. She was right – the whole thing took under 20 minutes to make, there was minimal cleanup (courtesy of microwave cooking), and the best part is that it tasted exactly like my mom’s version of it.

16 Facts About Eggplant (Aubergine)
2007-12-08 22:02:00 Eggplant is native to southern India and Sri Lanka. It is part of the nightshade (Solanacene) family, which also includes tomatoes, potatoes, and chili peppers. Like all other edible members of the nightshade family, the eggplant is a fruit. Tobacco is also a member of the nightshade family. Like tobacco, eggplant and other nightshade plants contain nicotine, though to a lesser extent than tobacco. Many people are sensitive or allergic to properties in eggplant and other nightshades. Eggplant and other members of the nightshade family may worsen the symptoms of arthritis. According to a 5th century Chinese scroll, fashionable Chinese women used to make a dye out of the skin of purple eggplants and polish their teeth with it until they were a shiny gray. An eggplant is almost 95% water. It is called "eggplant" in the United States, Canada, and Australia because the first eggplants in those countries were purely ornamental and featured egg-shaped white and yellow fruit. ...

Eggplant, Olive, and Gruyere Pressed Sandwiches
2007-10-18 23:06:00 This sandwich came about not through creativity, but rather because of the combination of my utter laziness and a dearth of food in my fridge. The following allowed me to pull this one off: · I made two loaves of rustic French bread the other night; one was plain and the other was loaded with rosemary and nicoise and kalamata olives. · With the exception of last weekend, the weather in Baltimore has been downright summery, so my plants are still giving me food. So I have tons of peppers and a few eggplants. · I always have good cheese in my fridge. Always. I love panini, so I decided that’s how I would put these ingredients together. I realize that the name implies that the sandwich contains Italian-ish ingredients, which is why I’m calling this one a pressed sandwich, as it has a French inflection. There’s something about this sandwich that makes it a lovely little early autumn supper – it’s slightly earthy and rich, but not so much...

Spicy eggplant!
2007-09-25 06:44:00 Eggplant is one of those weird vegetables - it seems to take a lot of thinking to find the "right" recipe for it. And it either turns out fabulous or really crappy, no in between! I was looking for a side to go with some dosas a few days ago, and realized I had some really fresh indian eggplant waiting to be cooked up. After much dithering, I decided to go with a simple, straightforward recipe - stuffed & baked. After slicing off the tops of the little eggplants, I made a cross cut lengthwise in each of those - for filling with the stuffing. I had some sambar powder that I'd made a few days ago - seemed like the perfect filling. I loaded up the eggplants with the powder+salt, spritzed them with some oil spray and baked them for about 15 minutes at 400 F. For the first time ever, I garnished these with some chopped fennel - the combination of flavors was awesome!Hmm ... this is an odd picture, these look more like dates than eggplants!!! :)

As I previously mentioned, there are so many lovely ones available at the market this time of year, and I always buy lots of them. Of course, there’s also a plethora of tomatoes at the market; I end up buying a few pints of different cherry tomatoes in addition to heirlooms and romas. Of course, at this point, I find myself with too many tomatoes and eggplants (amongst other vegetables) on my hands. Although I love being in the kitchen, trying to use up all this produce sometimes tires me out, which is why roasting has become my preferred method of dealing with much of my summer produce. Not only is it incredibly easy, but I find that it really brings out the flavor of the vegetables.Eggplant tends to soak up a lot of oil, but roasting cubes of it in the oven allows them to cook to a nice texture without the use of a lot of oil.

There is certainly no light box that could provide me with this effect. This painting is going to Chelsea Gallery as soon as is dry enough to ship. A couple of eggplants, the original white one and the most popular one (my favorite) the dark, really dark almost black purple one against a wall with really intense light and shadows. Please contact the gallery to purchase this painting.Questions? Comments? Post them right here or email me

My family is coming into town this weekend and I am uber-excited so I planned menu upon menu of gluten and dairy free bliss... this cooking bonanza of course hinges upon using up my leftovers since I refuse to waste food (or to feed my guests leftovers :) ).
