Mediterranean melange

The menu headline for last night's supper was salad. It was not a warm day, and with a bit of a south easter, the evening was chilly. A salad supper appealed to neither of us. On Saturday, after a dismal market, my market pal, Barbie insisted on giving me one of her homegrown brinjals in exchange for rolls.

With slices of that and a tin of tomatoes, last week's salad in the jar became a vegetarian Mediterranean melange that was a neither a lasagne nor a moussaka.

I had two jars in the fridge and the sauteed brinjals were layered between the lentils the basil was finely chopped and sprinkled over that.

The second to last layer was a tin of tomatoes, chopped.

The cheese was an after thought and, IMO, the dish would have been as good without it and made it vegan.

I was very happy to have some comfort food. I had been cold and uncomfortable all day - with a literal pain in the neck from having been caught in a draft on Sunday. That, like most things, will pass, too!

Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:

• re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
• and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.

I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.

• From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
