Eggplant with Sweet Miso Sauce
Thai Eggplant Curry
The directions specify not shaking the can of coconut milk because you want the liquid to have separated so you can spoon off the creamy top portion to start this recipe. As with all curries, use the vegetables you have on hand. The combination of sweet potatoes with eggplant and peppers is particularly nice.
Pressed Eggplant and Pepper Sandwich
Speaking of eggplants and peppers … I have a few left over from last week so I’m making this eggplant/pepper sandwich. You grill the eggplants and peppers, assemble the sandwich and then let it sit, pressed, to compress all those delicious flavors.
Sautéed Eggplant with Garlic-Cumin Vinaigrette, Feta and Herbs
It’s hard to believe we’re in the first week of November and still getting summer vegetables in our box. Peppers and eggplants for Thanksgiving anyone? I made a lovely beef stew over the weekend with my accumulated hoard of eggplants and peppers. Just had some for lunch today. Delicious. The long, slow cooking renders the vegetables into pockets of succulence floating around in a rich broth. Even my husband, the “I don’t eat eggplant” guy, will eat this without complaint.
I hereby offer my last suggestions for 2010 for these two end-of-the-season crops. And an intriguing recipe for collard greens. Collards and peanuts just seem to have a natural affinity.
