Thanks, Myrtle & DM! Plus, an eggplant recipe.

[Guest guest]

A cheesy vegetable lasagna without eggs (which I'm allergic to) and a recipe for

sugarplums!  I always wondered what exactly sugarplums were when I was a kid,

and yours look good.  Trying both this week, and also a couple of DM's five ways

with sugar snap peas!

 

I can't live without eggplant.  Well, I could, maybe, but I don't wanna!   So

I'm happy Audrey discovered it.  We also love-love-love mushrooms in our house. 

This is a little different way with eggplant that I got from Vegetarian Times a

few years back.  I like this so much, I'll make extra and take one to work to

eat for lunch the next day!  Sooooo good when I want a wrap-type thing and get

tired of bean burritos, plus my omnivore wife requests it.  You can sub grape

tomatoes or a couple plum tomatoes for the cherry ones.

 

Eggplant Mushroom Burritos

From Vegetarian Times

Serves 4

 

 

2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for brushing tortillas

2 cups sliced button mushrooms

1 onion, minced

3 cups eggplant, peeled and diced

1 large garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon salt

9 cherry tomatoes, coarsely chopped

1 cup coarsely shredded pepper jack cheese

4 nine-inch low-carb tortillas

 

 

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add

mushrooms and onions and saute for 6 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add

eggplant, garlic and salt, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 10

minutes.

 

 

Stir in tomatoes. Cover and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more. Stir in cheese, and

remove from heat.

 

 

Meanwhile, lightly brush both sides of tortillas with oil. Toast tortillas on

one side in a dry skillet on medium-high heat just until golden. Divide filling

onto toasted side of tortillas, and roll up. Toast each burrito in skillet,

turning once, until golden and crisp, for 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

 

Blessed be,

Jayelle

 

PS--Audrey, if you like Mediterranean cuisine and dips, Google " baba ganoush

recipe. "   Yummy eggplant with no frying at all!
