H5N1 thing I convey learned over the final 5 years hither (has it been that long already?) is that people convey real stiff opinions on eggplant.
Some honor it to the hold upwards awesome, especially when it’s spicy or paired amongst love apple tree sauce, others simply don’t attention close it, too no thing what y'all exercise amongst it, they’re never going to hold upwards converted.
I, for one, am an eggplant LOVER.
I dearest how it tin hold upwards used inwards too hence many unlike recipes, how y'all tin transform it too arrive into patties, pizzas, meatballs, too generally how it never fails to deliver.
So y'all shouldn’t hold upwards surprised that this was the start recipe I tried when I bought Silk Road Vegetarian. To hold upwards honest, for to a greater extent than than I’d similar to acknowledge it was also the entirely recipe I made from that cookbook.
It was dearest at start sight. H5N1 combination of eggplant, tomatoes, too spices that is simply divine.
I tinkered amongst the recipe iv or 5 times earlier I got it downward to what it is now.
I advise y'all brand this (Vegan) Western Farsi Eggplant Stew because it tastes really, actually good.
Fantastically good.
So delicious, it got rave reviews, large smiles, too empty bowls!
And non entirely is it slow to make, it’s also budget-friendly, no-time-to-cook friendly, too — since summertime is simply around the corner — waistline friendly (which I know all likewise good how of import it is, or not?)
It could hold upwards a weekend brunch or a weekday dinner or tiffin or a “I can’t believe it’s raining all weekend!” consolation prize. And since it reheats too hence well, it's dandy to pack for operate lunches.
Serve it amongst steamed basmati rice (or cauliflower rice) to soak upwards the sauce too y'all convey a complete meal on your hands. Awe-some!
