Ingredient IQ

Sumac, a spice made from dried, powdered dark purple-red berries, is used as a main ingredient in our eggplant spice blend lending a tart, lemony flavor to the savory vegetable. Sumac berries grow wild on bushes throughout the Middle East and in the Mediterranean, where each family typically includes the ground berry in their own family’s spice blend.

Instructions

1

Prep the vegetables; cook the eggplant

  • In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes with warm tap water and let stand while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • Remove the stem from the eggplant and cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half into ¼-inch-thick strips, then crosswise into ¼-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, toss the eggplant with salt, pepper, and the eggplant spice blend.
  • Peel and coarsely chop the yellow onion.
  • Crumble the tofu into ½-inch pieces.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the eggplant and onion, season with salt and pepper, and stir in 1½ cups water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant has softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the bowl used to season the eggplant and mash with a masher or the bottom of a cup or bowl. Stir in the tofu and season to taste with salt and pepper. Do not clean the pan.
While the eggplant cooks, prepare the ingredients for the cauliflower “rice” salad.

Prep the cauliflower “rice” salad and sun dried tomato topping

  • Remove the sun dried tomatoes from the soaking liquid; discard the soaking liquid and coarsely chop the tomatoes.
  • Juice the lemon.
  • Peel the cucumbers, if desired, and trim off the ends; cut lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into quarter inch pieces.
  • Coarsely chop the pistachios.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

Cook the cauliflower “rice”; finish the salad

Off heat, stir in the sun dried tomatoes, cucumber, pistachios, feta, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the cauliflower “rice” cooks, assemble the eggplant wraps.
