5. Bok Choy Wrapped Couscous:
6. 1 head bok choy
7. 1 box plain couscous
8. Several tomatoes, chopped
9. 2 teaspoons olive oil
10. Salt and freshly ground pepper
11. Thoroughly clean the bok choy and separate the leaves from each other. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and add the bok choy to the pot for approximately 1 minute. Remove the bok choy leaves and immediately put them in ice-cold water to stop the cooking process. Prepare the couscous according to the package directions. Finely chop a couple of tomatoes and add them into the prepared pot of couscous.
12. Flatten each leaf of bok choy and spoon a generous helping of couscous in the center. Wrap each leaf with the couscous inside. In a grill pan over medium heat, drizzle a small amount of olive oil and grill both sides of the bok choy until the wraps are heated through. Remove the wraps from the pan and add salt and pepper, to taste.
13. Grilled Eggplant Sandwiches
14. Olive oil, for sauteing
15. 1 eggplant, sliced lengthwise
16. 1 red pepper, julienne
17. 1 squash, julienne
18. Several asparagus spears
19. 4 ounces goat cheese
20. Salt and freshly ground pepper
21. In a medium sized grill pan, heat just enough olive oil to saute the vegetables. Clean and slice all of the vegetables and saute them in the pan until they are slightly tender. In the pan, stack several julienne strips of red pepper, squash and asparagus on top of a slice of eggplant. Generously spread goat cheese on top the vegetable stack and place another slice of eggplant on top of the stack to create a sandwich. Heat the stacks until the cheese begins to soften and then remove them from the pan. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
