My daughter has been busy this week studying the country of Armenia! Friday she will make a presentation to her class. As part of her presentation, she will take samples of a common meal they eat:
TRADITIONAL ARMENIAN
EGGPLANT CASSEROLE
I decided to post the recipe because it consists of healthy vegetables that we bought at our local FARMERS MARKET! Also, I thought it was really good!
WHAT WE USED
- 2 small eggplants
- 1 medium onion
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 4 medium tomatoes
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- tarragon
preheat oven to 325º
DICE: eggplant, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic
myADVICE
Always keep a “trash” bowl close when cooking!
Sauté all that’s been diced in olive oil until soft.
Add salt and pepper.
Dice the 4 tomatoes.
ADD tomatoes to the pan and cook a few more minutes.
Prepare the fresh tarragon and add it to the vegetables.
BAKE it on 325º for 40 minutes.
In Armenia, they use sour cream a lot in their cooking. I tried a little bit with this and thought it was good.
You can also eat it hot or cold.
I personally prefer it hot.
This is how I am sending it to school as samples.
