Post Subject: Good simple eggplant recipe?
I'm hoping you guys can help me with a recipe.
I got out of control this weekend at the farmer's market when I discovered purple beans. Wait, they're purple and they change color when you cook them? That is like the funnest vegetable ever.
Long story short, I am having a purple dinner party tonight. I have purple beans, a purple bell bepper that I am going to cook up with some (purplish) red skin potatoes. I am making purple chicken (just a red wine sauce really). I have purple greens and blueberries for a salad. I have blackberries for dessert. (okay, so I'm out of control, but I love a theme)
My friend just told me her vegetarian boyfriend could come. Which is great, but I don't know what to do about a main course for him. Eggplant is the obvious purple option, but I'm not a huge fan so I don't prepare it much. Any ideas of something quick but tasty I can make so that he doesn't feel like he's eating side dishes for dinner? (I have some yellow squash at home, but they don't work with my theme)
