Southern-Style Pinto Beans with Rice and Fried Eggplant

southern-style pinto beans with eggplant

Simmered in a wealthy, zesty and tangy spiced solar-dried tomato sauce seasoned with a bit liquid hickory smoke, these pinto beans are so hearty and filled with rich barbecue flavor that even your maximum fish fry-crazy carnivorous pals won't pass over the beef at the grill with this dish. They won't even pass over the grill in any respect, because it's all achieved at the range-top. They'll probable be surprised that it is no longer best vegetarian, however vegan too.

As if the beans are not scrumptious enough by means of themselves, they are additionally crowned with exquisite eggplant slices tossed with a dry-rub spice and herb seasoning and fried in hot oil. Complete the enjoy via serving the beans and eggplant on a mattress of warm freshly cooked brown rice for a thoroughly nourishing and attractive dinner with a view to have your circle of relatives and pals asking for seconds. I made up approximately 1 half of cups dried rice that yielded about four cups cooked rice for the amount of beans that this recipe gives.

This incredible beans and eggplant dish is adapted from a recipe in a book that I recently received called "The Southern Vegetarian " by Justin Fox Burks and Amy Lawrence. Not just a collection of meat-free adaptations of American Southern classics — a cuisine that most of us don't associate with vegetarian-friendly food — Burks and Lawrence use Southern ingredients and techniques to come up with dozens of truly unique and creative vegetarian recipes with a modern Southern flair. This is one of the most exciting cookbooks to cross my path for some time now, and I'm looking forward to trying ideas like strawberry-basil shortcake sliders, sweet potato pancakes with peaches and pecans, green pea hummus, vegetarian gumbo, curried cauliflower soup, peach and tarragon pesto pizza, and plenty more. I'm getting hungry just writing this!

(Note: I received a copy of The Southern Vegetarian for review, but the opinions expressed above are entirely my own.)

Now without further ado, let's get cooking.
