Dad's Pea Salad

1 can Le Seuer Sweet Peas (the little round green ones)
2 boiled eggs, chopped
2-3 sweet gerkins, chopped
shredded cheese, to taste
Onion
salt & pepper to taste
Mayonaisse - enough to get it all wet

Drain your peas & pour into a bowl
Mix everything together & refrigerate
Enjoy!

I leave out the onion so I suppose you just use as much or little as you want. I also like mine a little more "wet" than my dad so I usually add just a tiny bit more mayo to mine.

You can also use sweet pickle relish if you are out of gerkins. YUMMY!

I have a new side dish for you!

Babaganoush

Ingredients:

* 1 aubergine.
* 3-4 tbl. spoons coldpressed oliveoil
* Juice from 1⁄2-1 lemon
* 1-2 cloves freshly squeezed garlic
* A touch of chili.
* Parsley to sprinkle on

Method:

Prick the Aubergine with a fork all the way around it, put it on a baking sheet and bake in oven at 200 degrees, until it's quite soft - it will take about 40 minutes. When the Aubergine has cooled off a bit, cut it open lenghtwise, scrape the "meat" out and mash with a fork.

Add oil and lemon to taste, and flavoir it with garlic and chili. Just before serving, sprinkle it with parsley.

Bon appetit!

I love babaganoush!! I always buy mine at a local arab market though, lol, I'm too lazy to make it.

To those not accustomed to the term "aubergine", it's an eggplant.

Ugh, I keep forgetting you call it eggplant over there.

I like the name aubergine better, it sounds pretty!

I bought a packet of frozen onion rings in a supermarket, they're American. I've had onion rings a few times in restaurants, but never at home. I think they're quite yummy, though.

Well, I never fry anything in oil, so I put them in the oven, as they also suggested on the packet. I can't wait to try them!

Do you make onion rings yourself, and what do have them with?
