aubergine salad aka batenjen el rahib (monk aubergine)

Posted on March 27, 2014 | 1 comment

This salad is fantastic, a real celebration to the colors. It’s refreshing and filling.

Usually fried aubergine soak up a lot of oil. In this salad, we will just oven grill them to keep their flavor.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo aubergine
2 big tomatoes
1 medium onion
1 garlic clove
1/3 cup olive oil
salt to taste

method:

Start by grilling the aubergine in the oven.

Let them cool down before peeling them. Meantime cut the tomatoes medium cubes. the onion a la julienne and mince the garlic.

Aubergines are soft and tender, you can simply cut them apart with your hand (medium to big pieces).

Mix all the ingredients and season them with olive oil and salt to taste.

Do you wonder why they call it batenjen el rahib (monk aubergine)? me too, but I never got a precise convincing answer.

beetroot and goat cheese salad

Want to beat a hangover? Try this salad with beetroot.

Beetroots are known to be a hangover cure due to Beta cyanin, the pigment that gives its colour.

Beta cyanin is an antioxidant that speeds up detoxification in your liver, which enables your body to turn the alcohol into a less harmful substance that can be excreted quicker than normal.

This without forgetting that rocket is a detoxifying and pine seeds are an excellent source of energy. I would call this, a power salad!

Ingredients:

rocket leaves
goat cheese
beetroot
pine seeds

You can have it with either balsamic sauce or lemon mayo.

I wish you a life full of energy!

Cooking becomes different when you have a baby. He becomes the priority and your life is all about him. It’s friday (the weekend in Doha) the day we eat lunch as a family. I woke up thinking what to cook something healthy, fast and my boys like it. Plus it’s the lent and we don’t eat meat on fridays. So i decided to make roast fish with vegetables, lemon and walnut.
