Stuffing Eggplant With Cottage Cheese
Interesting. I never would have thought of this, I don't think, on my own.
As all are aware, I am a huge fan of Nancy's organic cottage cheese. It's amazing. But my grocery store that special orders it isn't always so good about getting it in a timely fashion, so I had a carton that was a bit old, and I didn't want to eat it. I have a rather profound aversion to eating food that might be turning even a bit bad, but MR has an aversion to wasting things and prefers that I feed him the food that I think has gone bad, as long as he smells it and determines that it has not, in fact, gone bad.
So tonight I made a stuffed eggplant with cottage cheese, instead of ricotta, as the stuffing. Garlic and asparagus. Giant sidedish of cauliflower and asparagus in lemon and capers and avocado. He liked it a lot.
Historically my CR-friendly pasta-less lasagna was made with cottage cheese, but lately I've been doing it with ricotta. Makes me wonder if I should go back to cottage cheese.
