DINNER

 …though not vegan or vegetarian; I’m inspired, nonetheless,  by ‘Love and Lemons’ – pure food, clean, minimalist photos…

eggplant sliced and salted

let rest while making:

basil, arugula, walnut pesto

toast the walnuts,

pulse together walnuts and one clove garlic,

add two large handfuls fresh basil,

one large handful arugula,

juice of 1/2 lemon,  sea salt, freshly ground pepper, pulse again; add 1/4 olive oil, pulse to desired consistency.

Drizzle eggplant slices and tomatoes with olive oil, grill over medium-high heat, sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper,

toast bread slices drizzled with olive oil,

spread bread with pesto, add eggplant, tomatoes, sliced mozzarella, top with additional pesto.

The eggplant:  attractive, useful, and delicious!!!!!!!!!!
