Eat the Alphabet #4: E

The Letter E

We jumped to E because Toby wanted to have E food for Easter weekend.

On the menu this week:

Elk, eggplant and Edam enchiladas
Warm edamame, eggplant and endive salad

Eggs

Elderflower soda

I'm still trying to find a good gluten-free wrap that doesn't crack and isn't tough.
We used Food for Life brand tortillas. They're pretty good if you warm them up enough, but then they dry out and get tough pretty quick. Drenched in sauce they were alright.

Warm Edamame and Eggplant Salad

1 cup frozen shelled edamame (soy) beans

1 cup cubed eggplant

1 cup sliced endive

1 tsp garlic powder

2 Tbsp butter or margarine 

salt and pepper to taste

Heat edamame and eggplant with a bit of water in a medium sized sauce pan or fry pan.

Let steam with a lid on for about 8-10 minutes until eggplant is very tender.

Drain any remaining water off and return to stove with butter and garlic powder.
Heat and stir until coated.

Add endive and toss just enough to coat and heat slightly.

Transfer mix to a large heat proof bowl for serving.

Add salt and pepper if desired.

Serves 4 as a main side dish

Toby likes it! (minus the eggs because he's allergic)

Toby thought my eggs looked like eyeballs and wanted me to include this photo..

I was going to try braving escargot for our E meal, but...we didn't, lol.

Also, no dessert this week. I had eclairs and elderberries written down, but gluten-free vegan eclairs are hard if not impossible to come by, and I wasn't about to make them. Also elderberries are not a common thing to come by.

Hope everyone had a good Easter!

Happy Eating!!
