1 thought on “Spicy Eggplant and Kale Fettucine”
Fantastic! I had the first eggplant of the season from my garden in my hand and baby kale going bad in the fridge. I read several recipes for combining them into a semblance of a main dish but the ingredient list convinced me this would be the most flavorful without being a curry. This recipe is perfect for a household of eaters with everything from vegans to carnivores. The vegans were overjoyed; I added feta to the vegetarian plates and leftover roast chicken for the “what, no meat?” contingent. There is just enough spicy heat to put smiles on everyone’s faces. This one is a keeper and is being folded into the monthly meal rotation. Thank you!
