...Tuesdays with Julia...

...I'm going to go ahead and post this here...because obviously I really did cook it...but I'm not going to post it over at The Vegan Version...because I've already posted this recipe over there...Vegan Aubergines à la Grecque...

...way back in August of 2013...

...so I peeled the eggplant...

...and diced it up this time...

...last time...I cut it into rounds...and I actually think that is the prettier presentation...

...this time instead of using my tea ball for the herbs...

...I tied them up in a bit of muslin...making for a clearer court bouillon...

...and just tucked that into the pot of simmering veggies...

...then I spooned the eggplant into a dish...

...and boiled down the clear sauce...

...until it was reduced by half...

...and was a rich golden colour...

...even with the muslin...I still strained the sauce...

...and poured it over the eggplant...

...see what I mean about the slices making a prettier presentation...

...we had it as a side with some vegan beef tips (TVP), rice and green beans...

...it's a good and different way to serve eggplant...

...so I think I'll check the recipe index before I start another recipe...the count is slowly getting up there...and sometimes I can't remember if I've made a recipe or not... and blogs are pretty great historical references...

~Have a lovely day!
