Today I picked some small white eggplant, tomatoes, bell pepper and toogether with garlic, shallots and potatoes which I grew also I made a delicious roasted vegetable dish. I also used (not home grown) 3 tbsp olive oil; cilantro seeds; mixed spice salt and pepper and rice.
pre heat oven to 450 degrees F
slice eggplant lengthways and sprinkle with salt, leave to stand for 20 minutes, then rinse
roughly chop the bell pepper and garlic, halve shallots and cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes
chop larger tomatoes leave the smaller ones whole.
toss the eggplant, pepper, shallot and potatoes in a mixture of the olive oil, cilantro seeds and spice and salt and black pepper to taste
place in a roasting pan in a single layer, cook for 15 minutes then turn the vegetables gently, cook for another 15 minutes then add the tomatoes and cook for a further 15-20 minutes until the tomatoes have roasted.
Meanwhile cook some rice
When both are ready serve vegetables with rice, you can stir them in if preferred.
