Eggplant Walnut Salad

20221104 #breakfastdiary 586, 0°C/sunny, 16min exercise We watch precious days slip away willingly, because that's how we get to watch something even more precious ripen — like a rare plant we tend in the garden, a child we're raising, a small book we're writing. Hermann Hesse But what's truly precious never really disappears, it just gets layered, one coat over another. Slice the eggplant in half, drizzle olive oil into a heated pan, and pan-fry starting cut-side down, flipping both sides. (Eggplant soaks up a lot of oil.) Soak the eggplant generously in the leftover onion dressing from last night's tomato pickling, then top with Greek yogurt, olive oil, walnuts, and plenty of pepper. #eggplantsalad
