Thursday I picked up these vibrant miniature eggplants and some
fantastic blue potatoes at the Perrysburg Farmers Market, and FD picked up some goregous green tomatillos, which he used to make a fantastic salsa, which became the condiment for his burger.
While FD manned the grill and oversaw the burgers, I oven-roasted the potatoes in olive oil, cumin, and paprika, and I sauteed the eggplants, some butto
n mushrooms, onions, and green beans in olive oil and garlic.
The sautee was spontaneous, so I need to make some revisions. I would add the minature eggplants in the last couple of minutes with the green beans so there was more crunch, and I think I would cube them rather than slice them the next time I make this dish. A little parm grated on top would have livened them up a bit too.
The hunt for eggplant-based recipes begins.
Dear baby eggplants, I have a feeling we are going to become fast friends.
Dinner: Top Chef Masters, which, we were thrilled to see, had a burger quickfire challenge! A perfect match for our burger dinner.
