Day 21: The adventures of Cauliflower and Eggplant

Spiritual Menu:  AM: Psalm 119: 97-120; PM: 81, 82; Jeremiah 8:19 - 9:6; Romans 5:1-11; John 8: 21-32

I finally found an eggplant to try a recipe on! I'm soooo excited!

Here's the deal - since I'm allergic tomatoes, I've had to find some alternatives. The spinach pesto sauce is still a personal favorite of mine, but I wanted something else I could come up with something that looks a little more like pasta white sauce.  I almost succeeded in this cauliflower sauce.  It has the taste, but the consistency is still a lot like very creamy potatoes.  Tastes yummy on the cauliflower and with the kale.  Here's my picture.


Eggplant with White Cauliflower Sauce

1 eggplant
1/2 cup flower
1/2 cup Jamaican water crackers, crumbled
1/2 cup rice milk
1/4 cup olive oil

1 head of cauliflower, cut
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoon Basil leaves
2 teaspoons Italian Seasonings
1 teaspoon salt

Cut the eggplant into slices.  Set up a dredging station with flour, rice milk, and crumbled water crackers.  Dredge each eggplant slice.  In a pan, heat up the olive oil.  Cook eggplant on each side for about 3 minutes. Drain excess oil with paper towels.

Steam the cauliflower with salt and water.  When soft, strain water.  Place in a blender and liquify.  Heat olive oil in a pan.  Sautee onion, bell pepper, garlic, basil leaves, and Italian seasoning.  Add cauliflower.  Heat and serve as sauce.
