lately I've been cooking a lot as a way of doing something non-school related. I've liked a lot of the recipes I've come up with and I want to keep track of them. So from now on if I do something that turns out well, I'll write it up here so I can get reproducible results. However! I don't mean to keep it just to myself, so if anyone else tries it, they should let me know how it turned out. Right o! Here goes:
2 cups white beans, cooked (slightly mashed)
1 roasted eggplant, mashed*
1 tomato, diced
1 bell pepper / 1 banana pepper, thinly sliced (depending on spicyness)
1/2 onion diced
leaves of basil, thinly sliced
some olive oil
some vinegar (balsamic)
mix everything together. salt/pepper 'til it tastes good.
* to roast an eggplant, quarter it lengthwise, drizzle with olive oil, bake/broil uncovered 'til skin starts to appear dry, then cover (e.g. tin foil) and continue baking for up to another hour (!!). Do not lose the precious juice that it gives off.
