Basil Eggplant – The Vegan Table, pg 36

Basil Eggplant was just so-so.  But not to take away from the recipe,  it is my fault it turned out poorly.  It was pure mush and I didn’t have the ever-so delicious thai basil.  Thai basil is so fragrant and lovely – it was a real miss.  I thought I could get it somewhere while on holiday but couldn’t find it anywhere – had all the other ingredients so thought I would give it a try without.  Plus, I cooked the eggplant too long.  I was too busy chatting and drinking wine when I should have been watching the stove or I added to much water – it really had to cook down.

And yes, I did serve it with the tofu scramble  Not exactly a great combination but definitely getting all the food groups in!  I served the eggplant with brown basmati rice.  I love brown basmati rice.
