This picture was taken with an iPhone under a big tree with ants threatening to swarm in on our food, so do excuse the quality.
It's our Ladies Vegan picnic lunch date again, and since the success of my ratatouille in the park, I expected to keep up with the imaginary standard I have now imposed on myself. A simple salad doesn't quite cut it. So I decided on this aubergine (eggplant, brinjal) parcel recipe. It had looked cute on this Meditteranean cookbook I got for my last birthday. Those cookbook writers always make them look so easy.
Recipe
2 large long aubergines
225g mozzarella cheese
2 plum tomatoes
16 large basil leaves
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
For the Dressing
4 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp sun-dried tomato paste
1 Tbsp lemon juice
For the Garnish
2 Tbsp toasted pine nuts
Torn basil leaves
easy and delicious!
