some of my favorite savory treats

i really do enjoy cooking. one of my favorite things to do is to take the afternoon off, or spend a saturday shopping in the a.m and then cooking up a feast for friends.
here's one of my all time favorites. grilled Aubergine rolls....hmmmm mmm they are good!
this maybe one of the only recipes that i can claim as my own. when i was growing up my family used to make stuffed grilled peppers, where you burn off the peppers skin and then clean out the inside, and fill them with a mixture of feta, some crushed garlic, basil and olive oil, and serve with garlic pizza...ooo its so good.

we were making that one day and there was some of the feta mixture left...and we had grilled aubergine...and i thought--it would be a good combo too...but to make it different i added mint, walnuts and lemon juice, i now also add some smoked paprika.



















i may have to have a lunch or dinner party again soon soon!
