Yep, that yellow is eggplant, not squash! I couldn't pass them up, so I got both in addition to a white one. I decided to make a Mediterranean style stir fry with eggplant, red pepper, and shrimp. Once again, it's just thrown together, but here's the basic plan.
Eggplant Stir Fry3 small eggplants, cut in the shapes you desire (I did one cubed, one moon shaped, and one in some shape I can't remember!)
1 red bell pepper, cut in strips
1 small bag salad shrimp
1/2 cup Italian dressing
garlic powder
Parmesan cheese
Coat a skillet with oil or cooking spray. Place the eggplant and peppers in the skillet. Sprinkle with garlic powder and cook until tender. Add the shrimp and allow to warm. Serve over brown rice and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
I've never heard of yellow eggplant before -- do they taste the same?
ReplyDeleteThis does look great -- and healthy. Great idea for ARF this week!
I've never heard of yellow eggplant either... often I find the skin on the purple ones too tough and hard to eat. This looks nice and really healthy!
ReplyDeleteHi Claire,
ReplyDeleteyour meal looks delicious and healthy.
Do you remember Kyrgyzs cook eggplant food very often? Kyrgyzstan is also Turkic so I think we have many common food. We love eggplant.:)
I look up your posts. They are lovely. You have many cookie recipes but I like "We All Scream..." Cookies and ice cream looks so fun and yummy!

Alisha - The people I bought it from hadn't either! It was the only one there, so I grabbed it up! It was a little more bitter tasting to me, but still good.
ReplyDeleteJanet - They are pretty tough unless you cut them thinly. The long, skinny Japanese eggplant skins aren't as tough.
Ayseyaman - I don't really remember them cooking with eggplant but that doesn't mean they didn't! I think you're probably right about the common foods. Thanks for dropping by! Glad you like it.
I like you blog title. I personally abide by the adage I once read in a book, "Let food be your medicine....
