Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Calling for any and all eggplant recipes! There was some discussion a few weeks back, but no raw eggplant recipes were put forward. I have a slew of eggplants in my fridge, from the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) garden. I figure I can chop up and marinate in oil, salt, and garlic. I'd love to know some other ideas. Especially seeking ideas for dehydrating eggplant. Thanks, Margie http://www.rawfoodwiki.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I did hear of someone dehydrating eggplant slices and using as pizza " crust. " I'll see if I can find any recipes telling whether they dehydrating the eggplant first, or dried it with the toppings on.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 And here's one from Jinjee and Storm: Solar Stew! Finely chop up a bell pepper and a 1/4 onion, mix in a teaspoon of olive oil and put on a plate. Slice an eggplant into thin slices, dip both sides of each slice in olive oil and put on a plate. Slice up a tomato thinly and put on a plate. Cover the three plates with plastic wrap and put them out in the mid-day sun for a half an hour. Mix up together in a bowl with a pinch of salt (and/or maybe some Italian Seasonings) and enjoy " Solar Stew " ! If you try it, please let us know how it is.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I prefer the dehydrator because I don't like the idea of plastic wrap heating over my food in the heat.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Here's another one that I received today in the Living Tree Community newsletter. Eggplant Rawvioli With Spicy Red Pepper Marinara Sauce A brother we met at Rawstock, Jeff Hrdlick, an ecstatic mathematician shared this recipe with us. 1 large eggplant cut in thin slices 1 t celtic sea salt 2 c cashews soaked in filtered water for 8 10 hours (I did mine about 2 hours) 1 C pine nuts 2 1/2 T olive oil 2 T lemon juice 1 1/2 T fresh Italian herbs (basil, thyme, parsley) T garlic minced 1/2 t cayenne, ground 1/2 c water 1/2 c Sun dried black olives pitted and diced To remove bitterness from eggplant soak in salt water for a couple of hours. Ricotta Filling: Blend cashews, pinenuts, olive oil, lemon, Italian herbs, garlic, salt, cayenne and water until smooth. Mix in chopped olives and fresh herbs Strain water from eggplant. On half of each round place 1 to 2 T of ricotta fold eggplant into half-moon. Place in dehydrator for 3 or 4 hours. Serve warm with spice red pepper marinara, Garnish with fresh herbs. Spicy Red Pepper Marinara: 2 c red bell peppers chopped 1 c tomato chopped 1/2 c sun dried tomato soaked 2 3 hours in filtered water 1/2 c apple cored and chopped 2 cloves garlic 2 T olive oil t Celtic sea salt t cayenne (optional I used less) T thyme (fresh chopped) 2 T basil ( fresh, chopped) 2 T Chives (fresh, chopped) (I used cilantro & parsley instead) Blend all to smooth consistency except herbs.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi Annette and others! not to sound like a broken record, and that first recipe doesn't come anywhere near meeting most NH recommendations. And, my real concern with it is that it is loaded with fat. it's probably in the neighborhood of 50-60% of the calories will come from fat, and it contains salt, spices, etc. See lots of other posts on condiments, salt, excito-toxins, etc. to learn more about some of this, if you're interested. While I guess the recipe is Raw, I personally see it as lightyears away from anything that will either build, or sustain, health. As a matter of fact, it's almost guaranteed to contribute to water retention, probably weight gain, clogged bloodsteam, etc..etc... If we're eating for exictement, I guess that's a choice, and I see this kind of choice as being over on the Health-destroying end of the Health continuum. I saw recently where someone had calculated that most people make at least 30 transgressions of Health Living principles every day. I personally would see the ingestion of this recipe as being one of those. Just one person's view. all the best, Bob Farrell Personal Health Creation Coach rawfood , " Annette " <cloudriver> wrote: > Here's another one that I received today in the Living Tree Community > newsletter. > > > Eggplant Rawvioli > With Spicy Red Pepper Marinara Sauce > > A brother we met at Rawstock, Jeff Hrdlick, an ecstatic mathematician > shared this recipe with us. > > 1 large eggplant cut in thin slices > 1 t celtic sea salt > 2 c cashews soaked in filtered water for 8 10 hours (I did mine about > 2 hours) > 1 C pine nuts > 2 1/2 T olive oil > 2 T lemon juice > 1 1/2 T fresh Italian herbs (basil, thyme, parsley) > T garlic minced > 1/2 t cayenne, ground > 1/2 c water > 1/2 c Sun dried black olives pitted and diced > > To remove bitterness from eggplant soak in salt water for a couple of > hours. > > Ricotta Filling: Blend cashews, pinenuts, olive oil, lemon, Italian > herbs, garlic, salt, cayenne and water until smooth.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 You are SO right, Bob. I posted the recipe because there are many people who are just beginning raw and may be still a long way away from eating according to NH principles. Although these recipes don't represent the optimum way to eat, they are an improvement over eating SAD, and many, many people have had amazing health results while eating them. (You can read testimonials of people on www.alissacohen.com and other web sites to see that oftentimes just the change from SAD is what is needed, especially in the beginning.) You have been raw, and have studied long enough, that eating the clean NH diet now comes naturally. Some people haven't arrived there yet. Some may never. I know that you, Elchanan, and (I think) Roger are staunch NH followers, and I also aspire and haven't arrived. The Home Page for this group says, in part: " Increasing the RAW FOOD in your diet can greatly improve your health! Food ENZYMES are important to your health. Let's share info, tips, sources, url's [sic], recipes and personal experiences with eating more RAW FOOD. ... This group is here to support people wanting to learn how to eat a Healthy Raw Food Diet. ... This group supports a Vegan Raw Food Diet. " To this end, if I can help someone with a recipe which may be an option over cooked food, I will. In the meantime, reminders of where some may want to be someday are appreciated. As always, thanks, Bob.
