Well first time in almost 40 something years, no family for Easter dinner! Very very strange indeed..
Son and daughter both had dinners with their better halfs families.. First time its ever worked out this way..
I think I was a little lost today.. Not running around like crazy trying to get everything ready for the big Easter feast!!
So, my hubby and I had a whatever is left in the fridge for our Easter dinner!
A small baked ham, some scalloped potatoes, and a roasted vegetable mixture..
The roasted vegetables were so good! You really must try this some time..
I Went through my fridge, got the last of the cauliflower & broccolli, a carrot, about a half of an eggplant, a small zuccinni, and finally, some shallots I also had on hand..
chopped them all into chunks, put them into a lightly greased baking dish, chopped up 4 cloves of garlic, sprinkled that over the vegetables.. Went out in my garden and picked some fresh rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage and also a few chives that have just started growing.. I took some basil leaves that I had frozen last summer out, chopped the whole lot up and sprinkled it all on top of the garlic. Added some freshly ground salt and pepper over that..
I then grabbed all the cheeses that I had on hand to grate for this dish..
Ended up with a mixture of mozzarella, crontonese, mantasio, and asiago.. Sprinkled that over all, and then sprinkled about 3 (maybe a bit more) tablespoons olive oil and a splash of truffle oil over the whole kit and kaboodle.. Baked for about 30 mins..
Lovely!!
I do this dish quite often with just eggplant, zuccinni, onion and tomatoes all sliced and layered.. Very good with this mixture too..  |
