One of our favorite side dishes is rice dressing. There is a twist to that recipe if you want something with a little different flavor. When the garden starts supplying us with more eggplant than I know what to do with, I add it to my rice dressing!
I am always looking for ways to sneak vegetables into our diet. Because the eggplant is chopped so fine, no one will know it's in there!
I love to serve this with baked chicken (or fried), but you could serve it with whatever meat you choose.
Eggplant Dressing
1 lb. Savoie's Dressing Mix
1-2 cups eggplant - peeled and chopped
1 cup water
1-2 cups cooked rice
Put eggplant in a food processor and chop fine. Add dressing mix and eggplant to large pot. Add water. Let cook approx. 20-30 minutes. Add more water if needed. Mix in rice, let heat a few minutes and serve.
Enjoy!
Note: I will be on vacation for the rest of July. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! See you in August...
