Fire Roasted Eggplant Appetizer





Remember when I posted the tutorial for how to fire roast an eggplant on the stove?
I knew that you would need to know how to do it for this recipe.

Fire roasting an eggplant over an open flame makes the eggplant tender, smoky, and yummy! ( Here's how) !

Then you can  scoop out that eggplant flesh and make a wonderful bowl of Smoky Fire Roasted Eggplant appetizer.

Fire Roasted Eggplant

After fire roasting my eggplant for that blog post, I wanted to use it in a recipe. I was having company for dinner, so I made my smoky eggplant appetizer which is naturally gluten free and so low calories that it is zero smart points on Weight Watchers! ( if you are a WW and like zero smart point recipes, - leave me a comment)

The recipe is quick and easy and the flavors improve the longer they mingle.
It can be served at room temperature, making it easy on the host/hostess!

Vegetables are so important to include in your meals, and they are naturally gluten free. Your mama wasn't kidding when she said, " Eat your vegetables." Our bodies need a good amount daily to provide enough antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help keep us healthy in a world where we are constantly exposed to harmful toxins in our water, air, and food. Fruits and vegetables are our natural protectors! When they say eat 6-8  fruits or vegetables a day.. This is one way to do it!

Eggplant dips and spreads have always been popular in Mediterranean diets where eggplant is plentiful. Adding lemon juice, tomatoes, and spices enhances the flavor and nutrition of this low calorie, low carb vegetable. Many nutritionists say that the Mediterranean way of eating is one of the healthiest diets for good heart health. ( see Dr. Axe's article for detailed information)



Try it for your next party, you'll like it!!

Another Falafel Cracker Recipe with Za'atar ( GF)

I know I made falafel crackers last week , but this is a totally different recipe. It's lighter and crispier than the previous recipe, so you might want to give these a try.  I had never made crackers before last week, but they are really fast, easy, and fun to make. A batch of these 50 crackers from start to finish took me under 30 minutes ( I didn't count the 15 minutes of chill time). In addition, they are gluten free, dairy free, egg free and delicious. We love falafel and it's interesting spices,  so naturally I knew we would love these tasty falafel flavored crisps. What makes them taste like falafel? The chick pea flour, the sesame seeds, the cumin, the turmeric, the coriander and the spice blend called za'atar. What is za'atar or zahtar? Za'atar is a prepared spice blend that is used in many Middle Eastern countries.Although the recipes might vary, Za'atar may be made of any of the following spices: ground thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, hyssop an...

Falafel Crackers Anyone?

This is an interesting gluten free snack idea and entertaining idea !  Can you imagine crackers that taste like falafel! For those of you who have tasted falafel before, you know you are in for a treat. For those who have never had falafel, you will have to trust me on this one. I assure you that the recipe is truly flavorful and is reminiscent of falafel. I found this recipe on a blog called May I Have That Recipe - a delightful blog created by two sisters who post vegetarian, vegan, and kosher recipes. This recipe happens to be gluten free as well - as many of their recipes are; many of their other recipes can be easily adapted to be gluten free. The Flour There are different types of gluten free flours that you can use to make gluten free snacks. This recipe calls for G arbanzo bean flour  ( chick pea flour) which can be found online or in most health food stores or health food isles in the supermarkets. I like this Garbanzo bean flour :  Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo Bean F...
