Vegetable Torte
This is a wonderful recipe for a layered vegetable torte. This is the perfect time of year to make it with all of the fresh vegetables available at farmers markets, but it would be good anytime of year. You can grill the vegetables or roast them before putting this dish together so it is pretty flexible. Easily adapted to be vegan…just leave out the Parmesan topping.

Baba Ganoush
As with Hummus, there are so many recipes for Baba Ganoush & I pretty much like all of them. Some are made with mayonnaise which I really like but the one that I have been making lately uses tahini. Very quick & simple, delicious & healthy. If you can not eat tahini, add mayonnaise in its place. If I am using mayo I add enough to get the colour I like. I know that is not very exact, but somehow it works. I like the baba ganoush to be a medium grey colour if that helps!!
Here is the recipe
Baba Ganoush with Tahini
! medium size eggplant
1 lemon, squeezed *** discard lemon
1 clove of garlic, minced *** tip if using a food processor, you can drop a peeled clove of garlic into the food processor while it is running & it will get minced!!
1 -2 tsp salt
4 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp tahini *** if you want to make this for Passover, use mayo!
Method
- Line a cookie sheet with foil
- Wash the eggplant & prick it with a fork in a few places. Put it on the cookie sheet & bake in a 350 oven for an hour or until it is very soft. ***I put on an oven glove and squish it to see how done it is & when it is very soft & the skin is wrinkled, it is done ***alternately cut the eggplant in half, spray the foil with non-stick spray, put the eggplant cut side down, bake until soft
- Let the eggplant cool
- Cut off the stem end of the eggplant & cut it into chunks
- Place the eggplant into a food processor or blender. add the lemon juice, minced garlic, salt & olive oil, process until you have the consistency your like *** I like mine smooth
Enjoy!

Eggplant Parmesan from Bon Appetit
I made this recipe for Eggplant Parmesan and as I was reading the recipe I realized it is quite involved. Usually, I must confess, I use a jar of store-bought marinara sauce when I make eggplant parmesan!
