Recipe for Winter Eggplant Dahl

Adrick has shared his recipe for the meal that we all enjoyed today - an eggplant dahl.

Ingedients:
2 onions, diced
3 medium tomateos, diced
1 large eggplant, chopped
2 cups dry lentils, pre-cooked
4 potatoes, cubed and par-boiled
oil
spices (cumin, curry, cardamom, ginger, chili, paprika, pepper and salt.

How:
Start with oil - add cumin, ginger and chili until oil heats up and becomes aromatic.
Add onions - cook until translucent. Add tomato and remaining spices, cook until it becomes like a paste. Add eggplant, cook until softened/browned. Add pre-cooked lentils and potatoes, simmer until tender and perfect (add extra spice/salt if needed).

Enjoy!

Exciting Updates!

The blog has a new fun layout, and a form on the right hand side where you can now subscribe to our mailing list.

We have been a little lacking in the email communication this semester, but hopefully this new google group mailing list will make it much easier.

Here's h0w to subscribe to our new list:
1. type your email address in the form
2. click on the link that will be sent to your email
and voila you will soon receive emails to keep you up to date

We are hoping to have a big meeting and work party some time soon, to create some new promotional materials. Everyone is invited and we would love to see lots of people come out to help! More details to come...

Another pressing issue these days is the future of Community Eats. Many of our collective members will not be around next semester, so we are looking to find some dedicated individuals who want to take more initiative in the future.
Send Heather an email at communityeats@gmail.com if you are interested in becoming more involved in the fall or if you have any exciting ideas or things that you would like to see happen.

Also, Terra Breads are back every Friday at Sprouts, courtesy of Community Eats volunteers!

See you all for lunch next week!
