Eggplant will go in spicy garlic sauce, green beans will be stir fried with onion, garlic and chili oil and the brussels sprouts will be oven roasted and tossed with lemon and capers. These things don't necessarily all go well together but they all sounded good to me while at the produce market! nancy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 This will sound strange, but how do you cut or use an eggplant? I've actually never tried it, for no reason I can think of except that I have no idea what to do with it!

I'm working on my menu plans for the rest of the month. I'll let you know. ;-) Last night's dal was really yummy, too -- I'll post the recipe after this post. It's from The Spice Box: Vegetarian Indian Cooking, by Manju Shivraj Singh. I checked this particular book out of the library because it has a really clear set of instructions on basic spices and methods in the front. In general, both to save myself from overspending and to beef up (so to speak) my vegan-cookbook collection, I limit myself to buying only vegan cookbooks, but I think I'm going to buy this one, on the strength of just this dal. (The recipe is called Pink Lentil Curry (Masoor Dal), and involves very little work or time. I think frying the cumin seed made the dish, and the presentation is beautiful -- sauteed onion slices and chopped cilantro on top make it look casually elegant.) The dal is spicy, but not painfully so, and James really liked it, which of course means I shall make it again. > >we did this a loooong time ago, and sorry, i thought it was sorta neat... >come on..dish! I post most of my menus and lots of recipes to my food blog -- http://www.reluctantvegan.com Anyone else have a blog you want to share? serene Masoor Dal (Pink Lentil Curry) This is the quickest dal to cook -- it takes only 20 minutes without using a pressure cooker. The pink color of the lentils becomes pale yellow once it is cooked. The flavor is more subtle than the green lentils. 1 cup pink lentils 3 cups water 1 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp salt 1 T lemon juice 1 tsp garam masala powder Baghar: 1 T oil or ghee [i use oil] 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp coriander powder Garnish: 2 slices onion, fried till golden in oil a few chopped fresh coriander or mint leaves [i have always used coriander/cilantro] Carefully pick over the lentils, discarding discolored ones or any foreign matter. Wash in a sieve under running water. In a heavy saucepan boil the lentils in water with turmeric. When cooked, turn off heat; add salt, lemon juice and garam masala. Heat ghee; add cumin seeds. Fry 2 minutes. Turn off heat. Add cayenne and coriander. Stir and pour over the cooked lentils. Mix well. [At this point, I ladle the dal into individual serving dishes.] Garnish.
