My Failure - My Success


This week, WWDH made Yorkshire puddings.  This recipe can be found in of Modern Classics I on page 120.  I was excited about making these because this would be something new for me.  Unfortunately, I ended up with flat burnt hockey pucks.  I don't know if it was because of the gluten-free flour or the use of oil in place of lard.  All I know is that they went straight into the garbage.

Fortunately, I only made 6 of these so I had batter left and I decided to use it on eggplant, mushrooms and onions.  It worked beautifully for all three but particularly for the eggplant.  

Ingredients:

1 egg
5 ounces of milk
1/2 cup gluten-free flour
pinch of salt
olive oil
----
1/2 cup salsa
1 few tablespoons Parmesan

Method:

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix all ingredients except oil together.

Heat oil in large skillet.  I used an electric skillet.

Peel and slice eggplant, about one half of an inch thick.

Dip slices into flour-egg mixture and make sure it is completely coated.

Put pieces into oil and quickly fry each side so that batter sticks.  Drain and place in a baking pan.

Place in oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until eggplant is cooked through.

Serve with salsa and Parmesan cheese.




I did the same with the onions and mushrooms after slicing them.  I quickly fried them and added them to the baking pan with the eggplant.  This made a delicious meal.

    I've always wanted to make yorkshire pudding, but have always been afraid, I guess for good reason. The eggplant looks terrific. Thanks for sharing your failure and success with us on foodie friday.

    The Yorkshire pudding batter was a cinch to make. Wish I had thought to do this with some veggies. Good idea

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
