Dinner 2/14 Scallion Pancakes Miso Glazed Eggplant Steamed Vegetable Buns Gung Hay Fat Choy! The Scallion Pancakes ( recipe ) is an easy one, and better yet, freezes & vacuum-seals really well for future meals. We haven’t made the Miso Glazed Eggplant in a while, but here’s a quick version of the recipe. Cut the eggplant into 1-inch thick rounds, scored the top/bottom with cross-hatch cuts about 1/4″ deep, season with salt and pepper and pan-fry in 1 tbs. of canola oil until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side). Put on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil, and bake at 350F for 20 minutes. While that’s baking, make the glaze. Mix together 3 oz. sherry, 2 tbs. mirin, 2 tbs. agave, and 1 1/2 tbs. of (red) Miso and reduce by half in a saute pan. Take the eggplant out of the oven, and brush the top and bottom with the glaze. Turn on the broiler and cook the eggplant for roughly 1 minute per side. Finally, We broke out the steamer baskets and made steamed vegetable buns (a.k.a. Stir-Fry Buns) filled with carrot, bok choy, red bell pepper, scallion, garlic, ginger and finely chopped tofu.

MR. & MRS. THUMB GARDEN AND EAT EGGPLANT PARMESAN My husband comes from a family that spends weekends discussing trees and plants, insects and birds by their actual real names. What was spotted this week, what’s in the garden, who’s stealing the cherries or sneaking into the yard. They read books on plants, encyclopedias of animals, stare at images of insects and bats and whatever creepy-crawlies they can come across. Okay, I grew up with herons and seagulls, storks and egrets, raccoons and armadillos, these last mostly in the form of Florida road pizza, but still, what else would I really have needed to know? I mean, he teases me by pointing out the car window saying “Look! Bird!” in his caveman grunt. Or on forest walks he’ll stop me and say “Look! Bug!” I get it, stop the sarcasm. No I am not able to name names, …
