As I have said before, I am no chef, but I love experimenting in the kitchen and by experimenting I mean strictly following a recipe. Pinterest has opened my eyes up to cooking and I have learned that delicious things aren’t actually that complicated to make. This week I made salmon, fried eggplant with goat cheese, and a raw kale salad, and I must say, it was shockingly easy and quite delicious. Enjoy!
Eggplant Goat Cheese Sandwich
Ingredients for the eggplant sandwich
Frying the eggplant
1 Eggplant
Soft Goat Cheese
Panko Bread Crumbs
Olive Oil
Tomato Sauce (I cheated and didn’t make fresh sauce…don’t judge me)
Salt & Pepper
Slice the eggplant into ½ inch pieces (make sure you have an even amount of slices so you can form the sandwiches). Heat the pan on the stove. While the pan is heating cover the eggplant slices in olive oil. Pour the Panko breadcrumbs on a separate plate and add salt and pepper to taste. Place the olive oil covered eggplant in the Panko breadcrumbs and make sure the slices are completely covered. Pour olive oil into the heated pan and then place the breaded eggplant slices into the pan. Flip the eggplants and remove when browned. Watch them carefully so they don’t burn! Spread a generous dollop of goat cheese onto the cooked eggplant and place another cooked slice on top. Plate the eggplant sandwiches on a mound of tomato sauce and enjoy.
Raw Kale Salad
Salad before mixing
Kale
Red Onion
Cannellini Beans
Lemon
Red Wine Vinegar
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Wash and cut up the kale and place in a large bowl. For the dressing, very thinly slice a 1/2 cup of the red onion. Add this to a separate bowl with the vinegar & olive oil, lemon, and salt & pepper. Add the dressing and cannellini beans to the kale and mix. Super easy!
Simple Salmon
Fresh Salmon
Spice rub
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Heat up the sauce pan. Cover the salmon with the spice rub of your choice or just simply season with salt & pepper. Place seasoned salmon on the pan and cook until finished this will take approximately 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of the piece).
The delicious finished product
