A Vegetarian Delight!

With the wonderful bounty of fresh, nutritious foods available at Saturday morning's weekly trip to the Rochester Public Market, it is easy to be inspired to prepare a vegetarian meal.  Today's feature was Eggplant Parmagiana, served with pasta topped with homemade tomato sauce, and a light salad tossed with homemade dressing (courtesy of Bobby Flay).  The eggplant tasted incredibly fresh and tender.  The tomatoes, advertised by their RPM vendor as the "best in the market", were full of flavor and did not disappoint!  We discovered that a 2009 Shiraz by Silvergum Wine Estates in Australia, with its fruit bouquet and slightly peppery accent, was a perfect complement to the eggplant and tomato sauce.
