This is another Turkish recipe that I fell in love with this summer during my holiday in Turkey.
Why it won't make you put on weight? Because you will have by itself or with chicken. No potatoes, no rice, no other stuff.
Let me talk to you about this eggplant first. Normally eggplants are not sour when raw, but when they get old or if they come from certain countries, they are. So cook your eggplant as you normaly do.
Yogurt and Eggplant Salad
2 eggplants
1-2 cups sour jogurt
1/2 lime juice (if needed)
2-3 green Charleston peppers
extra virgin olive oil
garlic (if you like) - chopped
salt
grounded red hot pepper on top
grounded white pepper
1. Cut the eggplants, without peeling, into cubes. 2. On small fire, fry the cubes into a pan with 2-3 spoons of olive oil (or more if needed). Mix now and then to make sure all the eggplant cubes get the same treatment. 3. Taste to check if the eggplant is soft; if not soft, cook more. 4. Add salt and white pepper. Mix. 5. Remove from pan into a serving dish. 6. Separatelty mix the yogurt with the lime juice (and the chopped garlic, if you chose to add it). 7. Pour the yogurt mixture on top of the eggplant. Add red hot pepper and 1-2 spoons olive oil. 8. In the pot, fry the Charleston pepper (or use a grill) then add it on top of the dish. 9. Cover, refrigerate, and serve cold.
Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.
Since I was 15 I've been obsessed with healthy diets, losing weight, sports, and everything included. I read books after books and I collected articles on staying fit and healthy. Even now, 12 years later, I am still reading everything I find on the subject.
I will share with you, step by step, everything I know. Free advice.
