Cooking…for the halibut

To-Try Recipe #12: Egg and Eggplant Sandwich

Okay, I did so many things wrong on this recipe I can’t honestly say I tried it. But I still liked it fine!  So I’ll call it “my take on” an Eggplant Salad Pita.

The recipe called for roasted eggplant on a pita bread with hummus and topped with a medley of chopped cucumber, tomato, jalapeno, cumin, parsley, lemon juice, yogurt and olive oil. And then further topped with sliced boiled egg and chopped pickles.

My version skipped the egg and pickle, but was otherwise quite tasty. I might make it again someday, for a fancy lunch or for guests.

 

Keep or Discard? Keep, in case I ever want to try again

To-Try Recipe #11: Roasted Chickpeas 

Oops! Well, the recipe called for seasoning with oil and salt, and I didn’t. I just slapped them on a baking sheet and popped it in the oven. They were okay, and if I ever lose my source for ready-made roasted chickpeas, I can do it again. But what’s the point? They’re perfectly good without the extra oil.

Keep or Discard? Discard—I don’t need a recipe for this
