Lazy son's Cooking - Vegetarian cutlets

3. Vegetarian Cutlets

Cut up Onions, Red Peppers and Carrots into small pieces

Saute the onions on a pan and add in the diced Red Peppers

Meanwhile Microwave some Potatoes (Refer to the steps in the 1st recipe on how to microwave cook potatoes)

Also, if there is space in the microwave with the potatoes , put the diced carrots in a container with some water and salt and microwave for about 5-10 minutes till they soften.

Once the peppers and onions are cooked, take them off the flame.

Skin and mash the potatoes

Drain the water from the carrots

Combine the three ingredients to make the base for the cutlets. Mix thoroughly. Add salt, spices (Red chilly powder/Pepper) and a small amount of breadcrumbs/polenta to the mix.

Form cutlets and coat with breadcrumbs/polenta

Shallow fry

Serve as a burger (or any other lazy alternative)

Lazy son's cooking - Eggplant stew

2. Eggplant and Potato Stew

Saute Onions and Garlic till they caramelize

Add in the potatoes (I cut them into long slices, not too thin) and stir

Add salt

Spice with Red chili powder and coriander powder

Stir to distribute the spices.

Add the Eggplant (Cut into cubes. You can choose to leave the skin on)

The eggplant will occupy a lot of space in the dish but as you stir they will reduce in size

Keep mixing to prevent the ingredients in the bottom from burning

Once the eggplant reduces in size and takes on a slightly brown shade from the spices add water

Bring water to a boil and decrease flame. Cook for ~5 minutes.

Check salt.

Serve with toasted bread and an omelette
