Moroccan Spiced Eggplant & Tomato with Tahini

Leave a comment

I love cooking outdoors! One of
the highlights of my summer has always been firing up my electric smoker, or
using my Texas barrel as a “wood oven.” I have cooked just about
everything imaginable outdoors, from pizza to smoked peaches. Grilling,
smoking, and barbecuing doesn’t have to be reserved for meat. There are
a lot of plant foods that do extremely well on the grill. This recipe for
grilled eggplant is my favorite way to just grab an eggplant from my garden
and quickly turn it into a featured grill item. If you can mix a few spices
together, you can easily prepare this dish. The buttery flavor from the
natural oils of the roasted eggplant along with tomato and the tahini is
heaven when eaten! You can even prepare this on your stovetop griddle or in a
grill pan. Read More

Sweet Potato Hummus

If you are looking to break out
of the old school of holiday-friendly dips, especially where your health is
concerned, but you want to hang on to some characteristics that appeal to the
autumn and winter senses, consider giving this dish a try. It works well as a
dip, a spread, or a topping for a holiday canapé. I have even just enjoyed it
fresh and still warm, folded into a pita or tortilla with fresh crisp greens,
cucumber, and tzadziki. Actually, any time of the year, this twist on hummus
punches lots of nutrition, and can fill you up fairly easily with the right
kinds of calories. Read More
