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!!

Ingredients:
2 cups of fire roasted eggplant ( Here's how)
1 cup of diced ripe tomatoes sprinkled with 1 teaspoon of cumin
1/4 cup of diced onion ( you could use red onion or scallions)
1/4 chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon of cumin
Juice of one lime

Directions: 
In a large bowl mix the cooked eggplant, tomatoes with cumin, onion, cilantro, and lime.
Mix well with a spoon. Serve on gluten free crackers or corn chips.


Would you ever make this for a party?

What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

[Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

Homemade Almond Milk ( Fast and Easy )

Making homemade almond milk is truly fast and easy. In fact, I made my very first batch of this creamy treat last week for the first time. It involved using only two ingredients: almonds and water, and had only four simple steps: soak, blend, strain, drink. After soaking, the entire process took me only 10-15 minutes. It was fun and tasted amazing! I'm sold on only making my own because store bought almond milk is stored in containers that are lined with plastic and plastic leaches estrogens into the food. And many brands add chemicals. My homemade drink tastes just as good if not better and I store it in glass. I've stopped buying plastic water bottles last year, but I didn't realize that cans and cardboard containers are lined with plastic as well. The convenience of buying containers of almond milk ( along with organic veg soup broth, canned beans, coconut milk) is exposing me to a continuous flow of estrogens which is linked to not only breast cancer but weight gain!...
