Ingredients

1 medium Diced Eggplant

Extra Virgin Olive oil

2 svgs red quinoa

Lemon juice

capers

1 cup pesto (refer to my pesto recipe, as it's thicker than most pesto recipes)

Salt

Directions

Sautee the eggplant with just enough olive oil to not burn it to the pan (1/4-1/2 cup) Sautee on a low temp until the skin is soft and not too tough to chew

Once nearly done, salt lightly (not necessarily to taste, as it gives a meaty contrast to the entree)

Upon serving:

serve up the prepared (hot) quinoa on two plates

Split up the eggplant to top on the quinoa

Dress with capers and lemon juice

Set pesto in two scoops on each plate

Enjoy! It's easy to make the pesto while waiting on the eggplant to finish cooking. The contrast in flavors in this really work well together!

If using vegan pesto (ie-my own recipe), this is completely vegan and very very healthy (no bad cholesterol!).
