One things for sure, this ain't your Grandmama's Eggplant dressing.
Tradition Bucking Eggplant Dressing
(printable version)
-3 vegan sausages, ground
-3 eggplant, peeled and cubed
-1 onion, chopped
-olive oil
-2 cups brown jasmine rice, cooked
-1 cup breadcrumbs
-salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the Vegan Sausages according to directions.
2. Place eggplant in cold salt water to prevent discoloration.
3. In a skillet, saute onion in olive oil; add ground sausage. Cook until onion is translucent (about five minutes). Add drained eggplant, salt and pepper. Cook for ten minutes (eggplant should be soft and tender).
4. Add the jasmine rice and stir until mixed. Transfer mixture to 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Cover with bread crumbs and drizzle with more olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes.
Grandmama would love Australia's version of Against Me (or the Swedish Chef depending on who you talk to), Graft Vs Host. "Growth Spurt" is country fused punk with rolling lyrics that border on unintelligible and a harmonica thrown in for good measure. It comes from the band's five song debut EP, Volcanoes. Get it all here. And protect your cats.

Remember "Summer Coma" by Weekend? I think I love "End Times" even more. (Thanks to IRC.)

I've never had eggplant in any form. What other food could you compare it to?
ReplyDeleteThat last comment was me, Seth. I didn't believe it would let me post as anonymous. has that always been an option here? haha I tried it the first time with my ID but it once again wouldn't let me. That will be hilarious if it lets me post anonymously but not with my ID.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes it does let you. That is messed up. It depends on how it is cooked up. If it is breaded you could compare it to a lighter healthier version of chicken. If it is mashed it compares to maybe chickpeas and if it is cubed, like in this dish, maybe a softer squash. In the past I didn't like eggplant because of the bitterness but a little salt takes all that away.
