Are you still free? That is, gluten and dairy-free? If so, or even if not, here is a recipe for you! It is a great way to clean out the fridge from an over-exuberant shopping experience at the Farmer's Market.
Cube 5 little eggplants, 2 small zucchini, 1 tiny red onion, and one small red pepper. Get those Dorot spice pods from Trader Joe's. You need 2 garlic pods and 2 basil. Also get a tube of tomato paste.
In a large skillet, add 2 Tbs olive oil and heat on medium.
Add eggplant and cook for a few minutes.
Add onion and cook for a few minutes.
Add zucchini and cook for a few minutes.
Add the red pepper, some salt and pepper, the garlic and the basil, and about 2 Tbs tomato paste. Throw in some red pepper flakes if you feel like it.
If it looks dry, add more olive oil.
Cover and cook until veggies are tender on low heat.
Meanwhile... cook 1 cup of quinoa.
When that is done, mix it all up together and eat.
Yum.
