Taco Fight Club 3: Eggplant papas

Vegetarian



This didn't go over well with one of the other members of taco fight club because he hates eggplant, but I enjoyed it.

* Eggplant
* Yogurt
* Salt/Pepper
* Taco seasoning
* Black beans
* Butter

Cook the eggplant as you would mashed potatoes, add all the seasoning, and serve on a tortilla with beans. Easy? You bet.

Fair warning, you may or may not want to remove the skins of the eggplants, they stay very rubbery. Overall the flavor will be very delicate. Also fair warning, they don't really mash nicely like potatoes. Expect them to be super watery. If you have leftovers the water will be reabsorbed (sucking in all that nice flavor).

Look what came in the mail...

$20 with free shipping on Amazon, made two recipes from it so far and have been extremely happy. It has instructions to make anything you can imagine, including seitan, which is going to be my next experiment. Highly recommended for any vegetarians and vegans who want to expand their cooking world.
