@Joe Girard, Thank you, I will give it a try.

I of course popped right over to your site to check out your current recipe. Bacon? Beer? Cheese? I may get flowers AND jewellery after making this.

We have an ongoing battle abt green beans because Longsuffering spouse insists they squeak in his mouth. He thinks this is because he has a partial bridge that is metal due to allergies to whatever synthetic bridges are made of today, but I tell him beans squeak when I eat them too. I just don’t notice or worry about this. Yet he’ll eat yellow beans and not complain. I love him dearly, but he’s weird sometimes.

@Joe Girard…Thanks! I’m feeling inspired, (though this recipe still involves tomato sauce and sounds stew-ish so I’m still looking forward to what Charmian comes up with.)

@Jill, first of all, steaming IS a very healthy way to cook vegetables. In fact, healthier than simmering in water. Water extracts a great deal of nutrients from the vegetables, but is still a great way to cook them as long as you try to avoid “boiling” and overcooking. We will cover steaming in the cooking school in a subsequent lesson.

Second, some acid in the water when steaming will help a little for sure given that there is moisture but not as much as it would with the direct contact of liquid. But give it a try.

Leslie… for eggplant, if you like Indian food, try cutting them in half lengthwise and roasting them flat side down on a baking sheet (oiled) until they are soft. Then sweat a couple of finely diced onions until translucent, add tomato paste and diced tomatoes, then Indian spices. Then scoop out and roughly chop the eggplant (discard the dark outer skin). Toss back into the onion tomato mixture and cook for 20 mins on low. This is a great way to cook eggplant as it adds incredible flavor and the onions add sweetness to counteract the bitterness of the eggplant. Might do this on Rouxbe for Charmians follow-up. For now though, you can adapt from this recipe for the flavour profile:
