CRUSTY MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix the beef with half of the egg whites. Soften the oats in the wine and add them to the meat along with the garlic, onion, milk, tomato paste, parsley and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Shape the mixture into two loaves. Place them on a rack in a shallow baking pan that will hold them without crowding.
• Mix the bread crumbs with the remaining egg whites and frost the loaves all over with this mixture. Bake about 1 1/2 hours, until the loaves are crusty and brown. Serve at once or allow to cool, then refrigerate. The loaves can be reheated -- whole or sliced -- in a conventional oven or a microwave oven or sliced and used for sandwiches.

CRISPY SPICY EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Slice the eggplant into thick slices and drop them in a large bowl of lightly salted water.
• Mix all the other ingredients and check the taste.
• Add more salt or spices if needed.
• Heat a skillet and coat it generously with oil.
• Thickly coat the eggplant slices one at a time in the besan mixture and place on the skillet.
• Shallow fry only 4 slices at a time.
• Cover the slices with a lid so the eggplant cooks through.
• Turn them over once and do not recover.
• Remove them, and place on a plate.
• You can prepare them ahead and pop them into a moderate oven for 5 mins before serving.
• Garnish with chopped coriander and serve on a bed of crisp shredded cabbage leaves.
