Roasted Eggplant With Harissa Potatoes And Tomatoes Recipes

ROASTED EGGPLANT AND POTATOES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚ F.
• Use a silicone baking mat or cover a baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray with olive oil (may substitute vegetable oil spray but I prefer the extra flavor of olive oil).
• Toss the eggplant with salt and place in a colander for 30 minutes to drain off bitter juices. (I often skip this part if my eggplant is small and very fresh.)
• Put the potatoes into a large bowl and spray with oil. Toss to lightly coat all pieces. Sprinkle half of the salad dressing mix over the potatoes and toss again. Spread on a prepared baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
• Rinse eggplant well and pat dry. Put the eggplant, zucchini, onions, mushrooms, and red pepper in a large bowl, spray with oil and toss with the remaining dry salad dressing. Add to potatoes on a baking pan and stir carefully. Continue roasting vegetables until tender about 30-40 minutes.
• Serve immediately. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or basil, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler, with rack in top third of oven. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Use a fork to prick eggplants all over; prick tomatoes in a few places. Place both vegetables on prepared sheet and broil, turning occasionally, until charred all over and very soft, 15 to 20 minutes for tomatoes and slim eggplants, up to 40 minutes for larger eggplants. Remove as done and place in a sieve set over a bowl; let cool.
• When cool enough to handle, peel eggplants and tomatoes. Remove and chop pulp finely; place in a bowl. Add chiles, shallot, mint, cilantro, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons mustard oil; season with salt and pepper. Mix and taste for balance of seasonings, adjusting as necessary. Refrigerate until ready to serve, or up to 2 days.
• Put chokah in a serving bowl; drizzle remaining 1 teaspoon mustard oil over top. Serve cold or room temperature.
