Grandma's Eggplant


Today's recipe is a wonderful recipe that my grandma Wilta taught me. The cool thing about this recipe is that you can cook it Sunday night - like I did - and then you can use it to though out all week using it on salads, pizzas, sandwiches, bruschetta, etc. This amount that I am cooking on this recipe was good for me for more then a week. And don't worry, the longer the eggplant stays in the fridge on a proper container, the better it taste because of the vinegar!

It is a vegan recipe but even the carnivorous will love to have some of these on their barbecue!

Let's cook!

Ingredients:
3 Medium eggplants
3 Bell pepper (what ever color you like, I used one red, one green and one yellow)
2 Medium onions
4 Garlic gloves
1 Chili pepper
A handful of parsley
6 black olives
Oregano
Olive oil
Vinegar
Black pepper
Salt

Mustard Dressing for Salads


I believe that for a good salad all you need is a good dressing. It doesn't matter if you get the best ingredients in the world, if the dressing is bad, it will ruin the whole salad. So, thinking about this, i decided to give to you guys this recipe for a delicious dressing made with mustard, that way you can vary a little bit more then the basic vinegar + olive oil. You have in your kitchen a lot of possibilities for great dressings, all that is stopping you is only your creativity! So let's work!

Usually when I make the dressing for my salads I don't have exact quantities for the ingredients, it varies according to the quantity of salad I have or the taste I have on that day, so even that I put the quantity here please keep tasting your dressing while seasoning it to make sure it is according to your taste.

Ingredients:
Salt
Black pepper
Olive oil
Vinegar
1 table spoon of dijon mustard (in case you don't have the dijon option, you can use the regular mustard with honey and a pinch of mayonnaise)
1 garlic glove chopped really small
