Dinner last week

I know this looks like a weird, random mélange of food, which it is. But it's not just about looks, it's the taste that counts: kale chips, carrot sticks, marinated eggplant wedges and last but not least– pommes de terre boulangère. As a sidenote: I never used to think I could be a vegetarian, but this dinner was all vegetable and I was very satiated. The only thing preventing me from becoming a vegetarian (and Jewish): PORK. The meat-love of my life.

Caponata

 

 

 

If you've been following my tweets, I've been eating a lot of Caponata these days. It's a super easy way to cook up a lot of vegetables and soooo savoury. Just chop up a bunch of vegetables (we usually use potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, onion and assorted peppers from the CSA box) and throw into a pot or wok of hot olive oil and cook down until the vegetables get nice and tender. A sprinkling of salt is all you really need to season it since all the flavour comes from the vegetables. You can eat this alone as a main or on the side with just about anything (we had it with some other sautéed greens this time). And guess what? It tastes even better the next day. Enjoy!
