I have been being blessed by a certain vendor at the farmer's market for the last several weeks. If I come at the very end of the market, he is letting me buy vast amounts of produce for very little money. What a huge blessing!
One of the veggies he has an abundance of is eggplant. What in the world do you do with an eggplant? I received a magazine from Hallelujah Acres and found this recipe. If he has eggplant again this week, I think I'll get one and make it...secretly. I won't tell the children what it is, I'll just offer it up for a snack and see what happens.
Bacon, Why Not?
In a bowl, marinate:
1 large eggplant, thinly sliced lengthwise
3/4 cup EVOO
1 tsp black pepper
2 Tbsp raw honey
4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
salt to taste
Marinate for 2 hours, then place on dehydrator trays and dehydrate for 12 hours. Turn 'bacon' over and dehydrate for 12 more hours. When finished, this snack will be crispy. Store in a glass jar in the fridge.
I'm the blessed wife of My Honey of 14 years, and Momma to eight wonderful Lambies aged 13 and under. We live in Central CA, and use Ambleside Online for our curriculum. I'd love to meet you , so browse a while and feel free to leave a comment!
