Momma Knows Best

Ok, here is a more exciting recipe than my last post of quickies. This is from Mandee Lee, our wonderful mom-to-be. Her husband apparently loves this stuff!

Eggplant Hodge Podge
one medium to large eggplant peeled and diced/cubed
garlic diced - I usually use one or two spoonfuls because we really like garlic
two cans seasoned diced tomatoes (we like the basil seasoning)
one package fresh crimini (baby bella) mushrooms chopped
one small/medium yellow onion chopped
one box cous cous (we use Near East parmesan or pine nut flavors)
one bag of washed baby spinach (optional - I usually forget this ingredient while at the store so it's no biggie if it's not included)
parmesan cheese
olive oil
1. In a large skillet heat olive oil and sautee diced eggplant, onion, mushroom and garlic. The ingredients will cook down a lot so I usually add some, let it cook down some and then continually add as there is more space available in the pan. Sautee until veggies are completely cooked down. Salt and Pepper to taste. 2. In the meantime cook cous cous according to directions on box. 3. Once everything is complete put a large spoonful of cous cous on a plate or in a bowl and top with large spoonful of eggplant mixture. Top with grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!!
