Italian Chicken Stew with Cannellini Beans, Kale, and Eggplant
I use the term “stew” loosely in titling this recipe. The result is not so much a stew as a braise, as I use whole chicken thighs and the broth is rich and thick. However, I find it to be delicious and satisfying as a stand alone dish, and as I am always chatting with [...]
Pot-Roasted Eggplant with Heirloom Tomatoes Recipe
When I was a kid, I was an exceptionally good eater. Perhaps this was due to the amount of time I spent with my mom in the kitchen, watching her create beautiful and aromatic dishes, helping her dice and stir and season. How could I not eat something that I had just spent the last [...]
Eggplant and Ricotta Lasagna Recipe – Noodle Free Lasagna!
I have taken on two challenges with the invention of this recipe: the first is making a pasta-less lasagna that is hands-down delicious (you’re welcome, gluten-phobes and carb-free dieters!); the second is creating a dish that even the most critical loather of eggplant simply could not resist. Eggplant is a touchy vegetable for some people. [...]
Vegetarian Eggplant Panini with Sweet Eggplant Pesto and Garlic Aioli
One of our favorite things to get for take-out in the Boston, Cambridge area is the eggplant panini and Insalata salad from the City Girl Cafe in Inman Square Cambridge. The sandwich is as divine as it is simple: roasted eggplant with some homemade garlic aioli, simple field greens and some fresh mozzarella. Put it [...]
Savory Crepes with Eggplant, Red Peppers and Feta Cheese
I have only recently learned to appreciate savory crepes. I grew up eating sweet crepes for breakfast at a stand at the farmer’s market in the Bay Area, and when you saw one customer leaving with ham and cheese, and the other leaving with a pile of fresh berries and whipped cream, you couldn’t help [...]
Eggplant Pesto (with Pan Roasted Salmon and Parsley Oil) – Or Whatever you Want
So when you go to a middle eastern restaurant or your neighborhood falafel joint, what is your go to order? For me, it’s usually Baba ganoush – the classic Middle Eastern smoked eggplant condiment that is sometimes made with pomegranate, cumin and olive oil. I really like it better than its more popular companion hummus, [...]
Pasta Melanzana with Roasted Red Peppers and Mascarpone Cheese
The scenario: It’s been a hell of a day. The weather is somewhere between snow and rain – not bad enough to warrant a snow day, but plenty dreary to make it hard to get out of bed. You spent too many hours at work. You feel like putting on your slippers and taking a nap on the couch rather than going to the grocery store, but you are in no position to drop forty bucks on take-out that will feed you once and will only only satisfy you until twenty minutes after you begin eating, at which point you know you will feel bloated and slightly guilty for overeating.
Braised Chicken with Eggplant, Served with Parmesan Orzo
Tonight was one of those nights when there wasn’t much in the house, it was raining all day, and I didn’t feel like venturing back out into the night to face the perils of the grocery store. I was rummaging through the pantry and I had, luckily, defrosted some chicken, and with only a few [...]
Spicy and Savory Eggplant Involtini
I don’t think there’s a person on earth who doesn’t like pasta wrapped around cheese. Especially when you put some savory and delicious homemade red sauce on top. This recipe substitutes eggplant for the pasta but works just as well and is a great use for a vegetable that sometimes gets overlooked in modern kitchens. [...]
