While at Stone Barns last weekend we picked up a new cookbook: Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi. At first we wondered if we really need yet another cookbook, but after flipping through the mouth-watering photographs we quickly decided 'yes, we do!' What we were missing in our collection was a good vegetarian cookbook, one with recipes that inspire us to eat more healthily, but still manage to fill us up.Last night we made the cover recipe Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce, after all it was the cover image that sealed the deal on our purchase. The ingredients were few and simple, and all together created a very tasty dish. Served alone, the eggplants make a great starter, but for a more substantial main meal we served them over rice. Thinking about it now, next time I'm going to use Israeli couscous which would be an even better compliment to this middle-eastern dish.

ReplyDeleteWasn't this absolutely delicious? I was so satisfied when I made it myself!! What an impressive presentation! We should both cook the same meals from the cookbook and experience the food together that way! And, better yet, lets cook some meals together as the three vegetarians! :)
ReplyDeleteBoy, that looks yummy! Eggplant is one of my favorite foods! Can you send me that recipe if you get the chance?
