Eggplant Pomodoro Pasta
From EatingWell:
July/August 2009
Diced eggplant turns tender and tasty sautéed with garlic and olive
oil. Toss with fresh plum tomatoes, green olives and capers and you
have a simple light summer sauce. We like it over angel hair pasta, but
any type of pasta will work. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese
and a mixed green salad.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium eggplant, (about 1 pound), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1/3 cup chopped pitted green olives
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 4 teaspoons capers, rinsed
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper, (optional)
- 12 ounces whole-wheat angel hair pasta
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, or basil
Preparation
- Put a pot of water on to boil.
- Heat
oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add eggplant and
cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add
garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add
tomatoes, olives, vinegar, capers, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper
(if using) and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes begin to break down,
5 to 7 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in
boiling water until just tender, about 6 minutes or according to
package directions. Drain and divide the pasta among 6 shallow bowls.
Spoon the sauce over the pasta and sprinkle parsley (or basil) on top.

Parsley Smashed New Potatoes
From EatingWell:
July/August 2009
Freshly dug, true “new” potatoes are so creamy and flavorful they
hardly need any additional ingredients to make them spectacular. Here
we tumble them with a bit of butter, tangy yogurt, scallions and
just-chopped fresh parsley. If new potatoes are not available, use any
small red potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds new or baby red potatoes, (1- to 2-inch diameter), large ones quartered
- 2/3 cup low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 scallions, cut in half lengthwise and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- White or freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Bring
1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer
basket. Add potatoes, cover and steam until very tender when pierced
with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. (Check the water level near the end of
steaming to be sure the pan doesn’t boil dry. Add more boiling water as
needed.)
- Meanwhile, combine yogurt, scallions, parsley, butter, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Mix
the cooked potatoes into the yogurt mixture, breaking them up with a
fork until they crumble apart and lightly clump together.

Country Potato Salad
From EatingWell:
July/August 2008
This updated picnic potato salad gets subtle flavor from smoked ham. If
you can find them, small, thin-skinned early potatoes are best in this
salad.

- 2 pounds small potatoes, preferably heirloom
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 2 ounces smoked ham, sliced into strips
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, or scallions

- 3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon peanut or canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 large hard-boiled eggs, (see Tip), peeled and coarsely chopped
Preparation
- Place
potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a simmer
over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook, partially
covered, until just tender, 12 to 20 minutes, depending on their size.
Drain and let cool for about 15 minutes.
- When the
potatoes are cool enough to handle, taste a bit of potato
skin"if it’s bitter or tough, peel the potatoes. Otherwise,
leave the skins on. Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces and put them
in a large salad bowl.
- Add celery, ham, parsley,
chives (or scallions) and mint (or dill) to the potatoes. Toss to
combine. Add buttermilk, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper; stir to
combine. Gently stir in chopped egg. Serve at room temperature or
chilled.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
-
Tip:
To hard-boil eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover
with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low
and cook at the barest simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour
out hot water and cover the eggs with cold water. Let stand until cool
enough to handle before peeling.
