![]() ![]() Greek Moussaka (Eggplant Beef Bake) – the Greek version of Italian lasagna, made with layers of eggplant instead of pasta sheets. No Yeast Soft Flatbreads – try stuffing them with grilled veggies! Lemon Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad or Coleslaw Spinach and Feta Gozleme or Vegetarian Quesadillas to start – great for cooking on BBQ’s! Here’s are some ideas for things I’d make: This is also a great dish to make as part of a meat-free cookout. PPS Honestly, look at it….how could you NOT want to scoop up that eggplant with a giant spoon and stuff the whole thing in your mouth? Oh – is that just me who is that classless? Chopped up dried cranberries would work well too, for colour and a wee touch of sweetness. But it is not a key component of this dish. I happened to have half leftover from Christmas. They are a bit of a holiday treat because I think they are a fabulous garnish that can make anything look festive and adds a touch of fresh sweetness. PS Pomegranates are most certainly not a pantry staple in my household. This is a very satisfying meat free meal. And if you like heat, scatter over some chilli (fresh or dried). Use a wooden spoon to spank a pomegranate to scatter over the ruby red seeds (so much fun!). Sprinkle with mint and/or coriander leaves. Simply use a potato peeler to peel “strips” off the eggplant skin (makes it easier to eat plus it looks pretty), slice, chargrill then top with a simple yoghurt sauce. “This is ridiculously simple to make and is one of those dishes that I would include in my “Meat Free for Carnivores” cookbook that I dream of making one day.” I haven’t actually ever bitten into a sponge before….). I can eat a whole eggplant in one sitting and I will savour every bite. As long as it’s cooked through properly. Drizzle with a few sprinkles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Put the mushrooms in an oiled baking dish. Thinly slice the eggplant and sprinkle with garlic salt. Rinse lightly under water and wipe with paper towel. When it comes to “meaty” veggies, eggplant is right up there. Scrape out the dark gills on the underside of each mushroom. However, I got a Karen Martini cookbook for Christmas (legendary Australian chef!) and if there’s anyone who can get a Cheese Loving Carb Obsessed Carnivore excited about veggies, it’s her. So right now, I don’t have any salad inspirations to share. It takes a lot for me to get excited about a salad. ![]() If I were to try that, it just wouldn’t be the real me and things would get really quiet around here pretty quickly…… I really wish I were that type of person. And talk about cleansing and New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier and lose weight. 15 minutes, and it’s on the table!Īny normal person who felt the need for some veggies to balance out all the carbs, cheese, meat and chocolate they consumed over the holiday period would probably post a fresh, crispy, leafy salad. Time for some veggies! Here’s a quick Grilled Eggplant dish for you that’s a bit different from the usual. There’s been waaaay too much meat, cheese and carbs on this blog lately. ![]()
