I simply love the idea of making a gumbo of eggplants, mashed potatoes and lentil cakes. The purpose they are comfort foods that have room for innovation and can be flavorful if done properly. The recipe is as follows:
Ingredients
Mashed Potatoes
Mashed Eggplants
Crispy fried Lentil Cakes
Sliced Onion
Crushed Garlic
Chopped Cilantro
Tomato Puree
Cayenne Pepper
Cumin Powder
Yogurt
Method
1. Fry onions and garlic until brown. Add all the spices and the veggies, except lentil cakes.
2. Fry the gumbo until the mashed veggies change color. Once they are brown sprinkle crushed crispy-fried cakes.
3. Garnish it with yogurt and chopped cilantro.
Stuff this veggie paste in tostada, burgers, pair it with fried chicken or sauteed spinach.
