Purple Bliss

This is from a recipe that appeared in the Health section of the New York Times. It became an instant favorite of this household, being both flavorful and healthy! Here's the link to the recipe:

Basically, it's a concoction of eggplant, basil, crushed tomato, chickpeas, onions and garlic. Served hot with whole wheat pita bread on the side, it's fantastic. I imagine cous cous with raisins and pine nuts would go well, too.

Next up on my list of recipes to attempt is jalapenos en escabeche (pickled jalapenos, carrots, and onions). It's one of those yummy things you find at taco trucks and I really want to have some here. This is the link to the recipe I'll be trying (stay tuned for results): http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/2386-pickled-jalapenos-jalapenos-en-escabeche

  1. That sounds great, I love the combination of eggplant, chickpeas and tomatoes. And then putting it in pita bread, yummm.
