7/18/10 - What's for Dinner?
Watering this morning I found that it was time to pick some tomatoes and eggplant. I recently read that once picked, you shouldn't let eggplants sit too long. So, I surfed the web for some eggplant ideas. I found an interesting recipe on Foodnetwork.com by Giada DeLaurentiis : Grilled Eggplant and Goat Cheese Salad. I harvested some sweet and purple basil for the recipe and made saffron rice to pair with the dish. Overall, this dish is perfect for summer with fresh ingredients like mint, eggplant, and basil.

Mmmmm! That looks really really good! After seeing those pics, it dawned on me you could make a yummy pesto veggie pizza from your garden!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, Kelly! We've got a TON of basil and we just plucked a squash!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in with the progress! Come back anytime, especially if you need some herbs for cooking!
