4 stalks celery take
4 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
6 pounds eggplant, halved and seeded
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill weed
1½ teaspoons minced onion
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 (8 ounce) package extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 cloves crushed garlic, minced
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons achiote powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons mace powder
Peel the celery and garlic powder and transfer into a medium bowl. Dredge the potatoes, then scoop out and chop. Stir in celery cracker rings, remaining garlic powder, onion powder, oil, dill weed, onion salt, parsley, olive oil, half cooked celery and 1/2 marinated garlic cloves. Remove from heat and stir sauce together in large bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour but preferably overnight.
Stir sauce over medium heat to just cook. Do not let the sauce heat to much as this mixture requires a great deal of dry sherry to ease the flavor transition. Allow to cool and serve cold.
The flavor was ok, I used a bit of garlic powder and 2 tablespoons of olive oil mixed in with the spinach, it gave it a little something to noodle so hoped for a Lebanese-type sauce because I've never had one and didn't care for the flavor.
Love it! Love it! And we don't even like spinach! But we did it ourselves, so it wasn't really bad. Ordered the eggplant pre-made it looks nicer tasting with the sauce and I didn't drain the delicious fresh spinach. Cooked the eggplant as directed and it was delicious too. Will definitely make this again.
