[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 246036, member: 1991"] The best recipe for vegetarians is Imam Bayildi - it translates to "the imam fainted", supposedly either from hunger, or extreme desire for the wonderful aroma of the meal as it's being cooked. It's baked stuffed aubergine, using tomato, garlic, onion, cinnamon and some other spices. There is an Australian play called "Salt" by Peta Murray, my best friend & I went to see it a few years ago. During the play the actors cook, the smell of the food being cooked is another member of the cast. And the first act was eggplant, they cooked Imam Bayildi and I can assure you, it smelt wonderful! (Next act was tinned tomato soup... the scene after that was great though - field mushrooms!) The play was about the relationship between a woman and her mother, a lot of it also dealing with hidden, secret aspects to her mother's life but the family recipe book was an important part of the mother's personal story which the daughter was never able to unlock before her mother's slide into dementia. But ever since then, I've wanted to make Imam Bayildi. Only I'll have to use large zucchini instead, husband is allergic to eggplant.
