There are days that I feel like cooking especially when I have some harvest from my garden. This particular day, I noticed 4 green brinjals hanging under the branches with the leaves covering them from my sight. If I hadn't bent down to take a peek under the branches, I would have missed these brinjals and possibly when they are found later, they would have been too matured to be eaten.
4 tender green and white brinjals ready for our dinner.
I took the lazy and easy way out. I didn't even peel off the skin which was a mistake. When we eat, we have to scrape the flesh away from the skin. I cut the brinjals lengthwise into quarters and steamed the brinjals. Before serving, I drizzled onion oil plus scallop sauce and sprinkled crispy fried onions over it.
I bought a piece of tenderloin pork and thinking that it was a small piece, I use up the whole thing. I haven't been cooking regularly and looks like I over estimated the amount. This was too much for 2 people to finish. Ended up keeping more than half for the next day. The pork slices were marinated and pan fried. It was served with sweet and sour pickled onions and bird's chilies to make it more appetizing.

DeleteHave never seen green brinjals...so beautiful and must be very delicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie! Next I hope to grow the purple or white brinjals.
DeleteBrinjals are new to me but look like a courgette or cucumber.
ReplyDeleteA great fence selection!
Cucumber is crunchy, juicy, and can be eaten raw. Brinjal has to be cooked and it is soft.
DeleteIt looks so good! Especially the pork!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny! Pork is good!
DeleteI like the second fence..,the first is super nice. Food looks yummy...I am wondering what you marinated the pork in. It looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteLol! I can't remember exactly but the basic marinates are oyster sauce, pepper, salt, sugar, plus you can also add whatever sauces that you think will make the pork tasty.
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lady Fi!
DeleteMuy buena comida. Un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa!
DeleteHi Nancy, your meal looks delicious. I have never heard of brinjals could they be like our squash? Great series of fence photos. Enjoy your day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen! Brinjals are different from squash. It is slightly spongy and when cooked, they are very soft. Have a great day!
DeleteThis looks so good!

DeleteWith fresh harvest from the garden I wouldn't mind cooking either. :-)
ReplyDeleteLol! Have to cook while the harvest is still fresh.
DeleteGood fences, great food!

Thank you, dear!
DeleteThere's nothing as good as cooking something with our own garden veggies.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear. They taste fresher and sweeter.
DeleteMy Beloved Wife planted brijals in front of the house. There was a time that we harvested so much of it that we give some of it to our neighbors and friends.
ReplyDeleteWe usually cook brinjals with other veggies. Some times we fry it ala omelette.
Wow! Your wife is a good gardener too! I have shared some of the brinjals with some friends.... only 1 plant if fruitful. I love brinjals with curry.
DeleteI wish I were your neighbour, Nancy. I would just buy vegetables from you - it will be super fresh!
ReplyDeleteLol! No need to buy, I will share the harvest with you!
DeleteBoth the brinjal and pork dishes look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy!
