Yield Serves 6 as a main, or twelve as a side

Number Of Ingredients 35

Sauce:
2½ tbsp olive oil
2 onions, finely diced (2½ cups/350g)
4 cups/1kg tomato puree
12¼ oz/350g ripe tomatoes (2 large), coarsely grated
3¼ cups/750ml chicken stock or water
1 tbsp sugar
Salt and black pepper
Stuffing:
¾ cup plus 2 tbsp/175g Egyptian rice or arborio rice (see note below)
9 oz/250g ground lamb
¼ cup/60ml olive oil
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¾ tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground cumin
About 3 green onions, finely sliced (⅓ cup/35g)
¾ cup/15g mint leaves, roughly chopped
¾ cup/15g parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup/20g dill, roughly chopped
1 red chile, seeded and finely diced (1 tbsp/10g)
1 lemon: finely grate the zest to get 1 tsp
3 tbsp water
1½ lb/700g eggplants (between 3 and 6, depending on size)
1½ lb/700g zucchini (between 3 and 6, depending on size)
Coriander adha:
7 tbsp/100ml olive oil
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp coriander seeds, lightly crushed in a mortar and pestle
1 red chile, seeded and finely diced (1 tbsp/10g)
To serve:
¼ cup/5g parsley leaves, roughly chopped
¼ cup/5g mint leaves, roughly torn
¼ cup/5g dill leaves
1 green onion, thinly sliced (2 tbsp/10g)
1 cup/250g Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, put the oil into a saucepan or casserole pan with a lid-about 10 inches/25cm wide-and place over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients, along with 2½ tsp of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring from time to time, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  • To make the stuffing, while the sauce is cooking, place all the ingredients in a large bowl with 1½ tsp of salt and a good grind of black pepper. Mix well, using your hands to make sure that everything is well incorporated. If making in advance, keep in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Trim the stalks from the eggplants, then insert a manakra (or peeler or corer) into the eggplant; you want it to be very close to the skin-about ⅛ inch/3mm away-but not so close that it tears and won't hold its shape when it's stuffed. Scoop out the flesh to create a generous cavity. You don't need the flesh anymore, but keep it for another recipe; it can be cut into cubes and steamed or added to your next omelette. If your eggplants are particularly large, slice them in half, crosswise, and scoop out the flesh using a regular small serrated knife-be sure to keep one end of each half intact, so that the stuffing does not fall out!
  • Use the manakra or a swivel peeler to scoop out the zucchini flesh. Keep about ⅛ inch/3mm of flesh attached to the skin inside the zucchini and about ½ inch/1cm from the end intact-they need to be robust enough to keep the stuffing inside. Again, keep the scooped-out flesh to use elsewhere.
  • Using your hands, so that you can push in a bit of stuffing at a time, fill all the eggplant and zucchini cavities. Stop filling them about ½ inch/1cm from the top of each vegetable; the stuffing needs some space to expand inside the vegetables when they are cooking.
  • Gently lower the stuffed vegetables into the sauce. They won't fit in a single layer, but try to avoid too much overlap and submerge them in the sauce as much as you can. Return the sauce to medium heat and, once simmering, decrease the heat to low. Cover the pan and simmer very gently for 90 minutes, or until the rice is completely cooked through and soft-test if it is ready by sticking a knife into the middle of one of the vegetables; it should go in very easily. Don't worry if some of the rice/stuffing spills into the tomato sauce, this can happen and it will be fine when served.
  • To make the adha, meanwhile, put the oil into a small frying pan and place over medium heat. After about 1 minute, add the garlic and decrease the heat to medium-low. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring very often, until the garlic is golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on the pan here; you don't want the oil to get too hot and for the garlic to burn. Reserving the oil as you pour, strain the garlic through a sieve. Set the garlic aside-it will crisp up as it cools down-and return the oil to the pan. Add the coriander seeds and chile and cook for about 1 minute, stirring a few times, until fragrant. Remove from the heat, transfer to a separate bowl, and set aside until needed.
  • When the vegetables are cooked and the sauce is thick and rich (but still pourable), use a slotted spoon to carefully lift the vegetables out of the pan. Pour the sauce onto a large serving platter (or individual serving plates) with a rim and top with the stuffed vegetables. Spoon on the adha-the coriander-chile oil first, followed by the fried garlic-then sprinkle with the fresh herbs and green onion. Serve warm or at room temperature, with the yogurt spooned alongside.

ROASTED BABY EGGPLANT, TOMATO, AND ZUCCHINI



Roasted Baby Eggplant, Tomato, and Zucchini image

I made this up last night looking for something to do with a bag of beautiful baby eggplants I got. They were purple eggplants, but smallish. They were nice because they did not have a lot of seeds. I did not seed the tomatoes and they were just fine. This is ridiculously good. Way beyond the effort it takes to make it. Tastes nice warm or cool.

FETA-STUFFED GRILLED FLATBREAD



Feta-Stuffed Grilled Flatbread image

Stuffing flatbread with feta and herbs adds great flavor and an herbal, creamy surprise if you don't know what's in them. Feel free to use this recipe as a jumping off point for your own stuffings. The honeyed, whole-wheat-flecked dough works especially well with strong flavors like olives, capers, anchovies and other cheeses. Or skip the stuffing and grill up this dough all by itself. The basil oil makes a great dipping sauce with both stuffed and unstuffed flatbreads.

Categories     dinner, lunch, sandwiches, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon/5 milliliters honey
2 teaspoons/7 grams active dry yeast (1 packet)
3 cups/375 grams whole-wheat flour
2 1/2 teaspoons/13 grams fine sea salt, more as needed
3/4 cup/180 milliliters plain yogurt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters, plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, more for brushing
2 to 3 cups/250 to 375 grams all-purpose flour, more as needed
1 cup/50 grams fresh basil leaves
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup/30 grams fresh oregano leaves
1 cup/130 grams crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups warm water and the honey. Sprinkle yeast over warm water. Stir to dissolve. Gradually stir in whole-wheat flour. Stir about 1 minute. Let mixture rest, uncovered, 15 minutes.
  • Sprinkle salt over mixture. Stir in yogurt and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour, then add more a little at a time, until dough is too stiff to comfortably stir. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in additional flour as needed to yield a smooth and only very slightly sticky dough.
  • Let dough rise at room temperature in a lightly oiled bowl, loosely covered with a dish towel, until doubled in bulk, about 2 to 3 hours. Alternatively, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • In a blender or food processor, purée basil leaves, 1/2 cup oil, a large pinch of salt and the garlic. Scrape mixture into a bowl.
  • Divide dough into 8 equal portions. If you let your dough rise at room temperature, chill dough balls for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. (If you refrigerated the dough overnight, you can skip this second chilling if the dough still feels cool.)
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 dough ball to a 6-inch circle (keep remaining balls on a baking sheet loosely covered with a dish towel). Brush top of circle with basil oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oregano and 2 tablespoons feta. Fold edges of dough over the center of the filling and press together to seal, so filling is no longer visible. Use hands or a rolling pin to reroll dough to a 6-inch circle. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  • Brush both sides of dough rounds with olive oil and grill for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until each side has grill marks. The bread is ready to be flipped when it begins to puff and bubble. Sprinkle with salt while hot and serve with remaining basil oil for dipping. Note: Measurements for dry ingredients are given by metric weight for greater accuracy. The equivalent measurements by volume are approximate.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Vegetables Properly: Slice the vegetables into thin, even pieces to ensure even cooking. For zucchini and eggplant, sprinkle them with salt and let them rest for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  • Use High Heat: Preheat your grill to high heat to get a good sear on the vegetables. This will help them retain their flavor and texture.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Grill: Grill the vegetables in batches to avoid overcrowding. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Season Generously: Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices before grilling. You can also drizzle them with olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Cook to Perfection: Keep an eye on the vegetables while they are grilling and remove them from the heat when they are tender but still have a slight bite.
