Potatoes with Eggplant Butter

Fresh & Fast Vegan Pleasures

When Rich told me he was tired of potatoes, one of my first thoughts was missing out on this delicious recipe. The smell of the eggplants and garlic baking in the oven is reason alone to make it. The butter made of eggplants also has garlic, lime juice, tahini, cumin seeds, and cilantro. While the potatoes are salted, the butter is not and its creaminess smoothes out the salty flavor for balance.




The salad is from the same book, with avocadoes, grapefruit, and a mustardy dressing. I made ciabatta bread this morning, had a good pizza with it for lunch, but for dinner, I had to make my boyfriend's much beloved garlic bread (instead of croutons).

bread contains wheat; all others gluten-free
