Eggplant Pinto Hash Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a very large large frying pan.

• Add diced tomatoes, basil and oregano. Cover pan with lid and simmer until vegetables are tender.
• Add pinto beans and water or liquid from beans. Stir. Cover and cook until heated through. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine potatoes and broth: if necessary, season lightly with salt, to taste.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cover partially and reduce heat to medium.
• Cook until potatoes are almost tender and most of liquid has evaporated, about 6 minutes.
• Transfer to separate bowl and set aside.
• In same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
• Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in oil, eggplant, and 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons water: season lightly with salt to taste.

Steps:

• Wash off zucchini, cut off ends and split lengthwise.
• Lay the split pieces of zucchini cut side up in a lightly greased baking dish.
• Pour over the butter or oil.
• Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the cut edge.
• Sprinkle with spices.
• Broil just until the zucchini slices get a lovely light brown on the top.
• Remove from the broiler, it will be cooked ala-dente' with about half of the crunch still in it.
• It is easiest to eat with a sharp knife handy to cut into small chunks for each bite -- but make sure you get some of the spices and cheese with each bite -- hm-m-m-m.
