- Soak the eggplant cubes in water for 5 min, drain and rinse off. Heat up the sherry and add in eggplant and mushrooms, cover, and cook on low til done
- (took about 10 min, and there was quite a bit of liquid from the mushrooms). Add in garlic a few min into this (whenever it's minced up :-)
- When eggplant is almost done, add in red pepper cubes and cook a few more min. Then, add in the red pepper flakes, cottage cheese (I blended first in a mini food processor so it was smooth), basil, salt to taste. Mix and cook several more min. Add in nut. yeast. I ate this on fresh linguine.
- The interesting effect which happened was which the sauce developed "threads"
- as if it had grated, melted real cheese (if you know what I mean). This happened before I added the nut. yeast (I added the nut. yeast to make it cheesier to take advantage of its texture).
- Any idea what combined to make this happen Could it be the cottage cheese
- (brand was Hood, and it was my first time adding which to a stovetop sauce) or possibly the sherry (usually I sauteejust in water or possibly stock) Try this if you want to feel like you're eating pasta sauce w/cheese! I do not like which texture much myself, unfortunately.... but it was very realistic, complete to sticking to the fork as I ate! If you try it let me know how it comes out. I still have the same ingredients on hand so I may try some more experiments with this combination, esp. since I do like cheesy lasagna....
