Directions
Minature Napoleons With Eggplant Creme (Vegan Yum Yum), This is the cover recipe for Lauren Ulm’s cookbook: Vegan Yum Yum I think it is the best thing I’ve ever made! These make cute little starters They are not finger food and they won’t stand up well to being served that way in my opinion So I suggest them as a starter where the food is plated and brought to the table To see a beautiful photo, visit Lauren’s blog at: com/2008/07/miniature-napoleons-with-eggplant-creme/ Make extra tomatoes and zuchinni slices to help in matching up sizes after roasting This recipe makes about 1 5 cups extra eggplant creme It’s great as a sandwich spread, ravioli filling, dip, etc , Delish! I made with homegrown organic eggplant, tomatoes and zucchini I didn`t use tamari or soy used fresh garden grown herbs and garlic minced and placed on the veggies before baking For the creme I didn`t microwave just pan fried till tender added the cashews and garlic to the pan to toast for 1 minute then blended I had a very large zucchini so I plated that first on the creme, then creme, topped with oyster mushrooms more creme them the tomato I would slice the tomato next time before placing on for easy eating The layer all comes down to size Thanks Enjoyed for Veg tag
