pasta
my favorite pasta dish is saute'd in garlic. cut a bunch of garlic
cloves in half & toss them into a wok with 1/4 cup of olive oil.
at medium-high heat, add spaghetti (cooked or fresh), maybe
a pound (two fresh). stir continuously until garlic is a little
brown & the pasta has stuck together & browned in places (yummy
crunchy!) drain the oil & serve with dishes that lean toward
oregano, basil, marjoram ... admittedly olive oil isn't the most
nutritious food, but the dish is clearly proletarian, & you can
breathe on the next technocrat you run into.
another garlic delight babba ghanouj (sp?). take some eggplants
& poke holes in them with a fork. put them in a 400 degree oven
for 45 minutes. remove them, cut them open lengthwise (to cool),
making sure to save the liquid that runs off. while they cool,
mix maybe 1 part lemon juice & two parts tahini in a big bowl.
(there should be about as much of this stuff as eggplant pulp.)
add cumin, coriander, a little tamari, gobs of minced garlic,
possibly some cayenne. when the eggplant is cool enough to handle,
strip the flesh from the skin & mix it into the other stuff,
making sure to shred it into fairly small pieces. add some olive
oil, like about 1 part to 10 parts of eggplant/tahini/lemon.
stir it up (at this point my roommate, & most of you i guess,
would use some kind of machine. that's okay if you like
pudding & you don't give a damn about post-industrialism)
then pour a thin layer of olive oil over the top & stick it
in the fridge till it's cold. serve with other middle eastern
dishes, or improvise.
