Thai Eggplant And Green Lipped Mussel Salad Recipes

GOAN WARM MUSSEL SALAD (TISRU)

Steps:

• Place onions and oil in a deep pot and cook, stirring over high heat until they turn light brown, about 5 minutes. Lower heat and stir in ginger, coriander, turmeric, and red pepper. Cook for an additional minute. Stir in the coconut, salt, and mussels, and bring contents to the boil. Cover the pot and steam until the mussels open up, about 7 minutes. Transfer mussels and the sauce to a deep platter. Sprinkle with lemon juice, coriander and, if desired, coconut. Serve immediately.;

EGGPLANT SALAD

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, heat a small amount of olive oil and brown eggplant quickly on all sides. Continue to cook in batches until all eggplant is done. In a separate pot (large enough to hold all the eggplant), heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and sweat garlic and onions until translucent. Add eggplant, tomatoes, honey and spices. Reduce until all liquid is evaporated. Stir occasionally, making sure the bottom does not burn. Remove from heat; add vinegar and check seasoning. Before serving add herbs. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
