I’ve been intrigued by salads using smashed cucumbers for a while and desperate for an Asian-inspired side dish, it seemed like the perfect time to smash an innocent cucumber.
Since I first posted this, it’s become my go-to recipe for eggplant Parmesan (see the update below). It’s lighter (but still no diet dish) than traditional and I do it in stages when we get a couple of cooler hours in a day.
I got seduced by an ad on Facebook for “perfect” chicken. Chicken? Yes, heirloom, pasture-raised, slow growth chicken from a company called Cook’s Venture.
