EGGPLANT RECIPES / RECIPES AUBERGINE

BRINJAL, call it what you like, it's delic ...

Eggplant recipes are deliciously simple. But I love them really because any food that tastes good, is healthy and is easy to prepare, is surely a winner!

I do have to admit though, eggplant is a bit of an acquired taste. I'm glad I've acquired it - because I can eat cholesterol-rich foods like butter that I love. Eggplant counteracts the cholesterol so we eat EGGPLANT RECIPES at least twice a week.



Aubergine is the name of the fruit born on the Eggplant bush. It's chief virtue, other than the fact that it tastes so good, is its proven support for a multitude of other ways to lower your cholesterol. Exercise and cholesterol ...







FRIED EGGPLANT: INGREDIENTS

This is the altogether the most delicious way to eat brinjals, as the Indians call eggplant. It originated in the Subcontinent apparently. Eaten as the side dish for a healthy salad, you need not feel guilty about the relatively high fat content of fried aubergine.

  1. One large or two small aubergines.

  2. One egg, lightly beaten; add a little water.

  3. All purpose flour in a soup dish.

  4. Olive oil.


PREPARATION

  • Cut the eggplant into slices about 7-10 mm thick. No need to peel. Salt and wipe them clean after about 10 mins if you are feeling strong! Especially if the brinjals are a bit old. It draws any bitter juices out, but frankly I don’t bother.

  • Dab the aubergine slices (both sides) into the flour.

  • Drop into the beaten egg-water mixture.

  • Heat a little olive oil in a heavy pan. Cheat with a little butter, too, if your cholesterol is normal. Then they won't stick.

    Definitely do not use hard margarine, high in trans fats. Why? HYDROGENATED FOODS ...

    Pour a glass of red wine: CHOLESTEROL ALCOHOL .... One! A biggy!

  • Drop the floured and egged brinjal slices into the hot oil and immediately turn the temperature down. Dribble a little olive oil onto the unturned side and flip the slices as soon as they are brown. Watch them like a hawk - they can burn very quickly. Salt them lightly.

OLIVE GARDEN SALAD RECIPE

Your fried eggplant recipe is quite rich, but because of the special cholesterol binding properties of the aubergine, you needn't worry. Still, all fried food is quite high in calories, so it's best enjoyed with a salad. Greek or bean sprout salad: OLIVE GARDEN SALAD RECIPE >>.


Tauge, or bean sprouts, add an extra dimension of health and taste to every salad. Make sure there is some tomato. Actually aubergine and tomatoes are first cousins. Did you know that a tomato a day will decrease by 50% the most common fatal cancer in men? TOMATO PROSTATE ...

RATATOUILLE / EGGPLANT GOULASH

This is the simplest of the healthy eggplant recipes. The ingredients are:

  1. 1 Onion, 1-4 clove garlic, chopped

  2. 1 Eggplant, sliced with skins

  3. Zuccini, depending on size, 1 or 2.

  4. 1 Paprika, sweet pepper, sliced.

  5. 1 can tomatoes, or three chopped tomatoes

  6. Optional, Tofu blocks.

Lightly fry the onion in a heavy saucepan in a little olive oil. Throw in the rest of the ingredients, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 45 mins on low heat. Delicious with brown rice (throw in a handful of lentils). LENTIL PROTEIN ... Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese or, at the last moment, throw in a cup of chopped Tofu Nutrition ....

You may be wondering: Why eggplant recipes on a chiropractic website? Chiropractic is much more than being well adjusted. Whilst we spend our hours freeing up subluxations, we know that to keep our patients healthy and happy we have to emphasize healthy diet, the body in motion, the alert mind, and if you want to think about truly abundant living, then of course the spirit too.

BAKED AUBERGINE

INGREDIENTS
  1. 2 eggplant

  2. 1 lemon, squeezed

  3. 2 TBSP flour, mixed with ground pepper

  4. 3 TBSP olive oil

  6. 2 cloves garlic

  7. 75 g grated mature cheddar

  8. 250 ml tomatojuice (or 3 toms liquidised)

PREPARATION
