This dish of eggplant roasted until caramelized and tender, served over stewed lentils with an extraordinarily light and creamy tahini sauce and crunchy pine nuts, was dinner and lunch for more meals than I care to count a couple of weeks back. Not that I’m complaining: It’s extremely good. Get Recipe!
The inspiration for this recipe comes from the version of san choi bao I grew up eating at the original Phoenix Garden in New York’s Chinatown. That version features minced squab stir-fried with pine nuts and finely diced water chestnuts and vegetables. This thing is all about texture as the mix of crunchy, crisp, and tender bits comes together in your mouth, and it works just as well with a new set of vegetable-based ingredients. Get Recipe!
