In the Mood to Cook
Jul. 21st, 2012 11:57 amI'm contemplating joining a CSA as I've noticed that garden produce pushes me to cook creatively. Right now I have a phyllo casserole in the oven for lunch (to use up eggplant) and pork in the crockpot (to use up tomatoes and peppers).
Eggplant and Mushroom Pastry
This is a variation on my spinach pastry or ground lamb pastry, but with a different filling.
5 small eggplants
Roast eggplants in oven for 1 hour at 400F. Forget about in fridge for a couple of days. Skin.
1/2 onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic (minced)
8 oz sliced baby bella mushrooms (I love shopping in the morning because that's when the discounts come out)
Brown up in skillet with a little oil.
4 oz local fresh goat cheese
1 Tbsp Penzy's Turkish Spice Mix
Mix all together. Use a filling in phyllo dough instead of ground lamb filling as discussed in previously mentioned recipe.
Shredded Pork in Crock
2 lb pork roast
Slice into 1 inch thick rounds and brown in skillet. Place in crock.
2 large tomatoes
3 peppers (not hot? I can't remember what we planted
3 cloves garlic
8 oz Mole "Simmering Sauce" packet from the Merc
Mix into crockpot. Cook on high for four hours. I plan to use it as filling in burritos.
