Heat grill to medium-high. Slice
eggplant into 1 /4-inch-thick rounds.
Brush one side of each eggplant
round with a very thin layer of olive
oil. Grill the eggplant on the oiled
side until marked with grill lines.
Turn the eggplant over (no need to
brush oil on the other side), and grill
for about 3 minutes more. Arrange
the eggplant on a serving dish, over-
lapping the slices. Arrange the toma-
to slices between some of the egg-
plant slices. Sprinkle the almonds,
capers and basil over the salad,
drizzle with the balsamic vinegar
and season with salt and pepper.
Makes 6 or more servings.

SPICED TURNIP 'FRIES'
I've been oven baking all types of
"fries" these days. These are good!
6 lbs. fresh turnips, peeled
2 Tbsp. melted coconut oil (or
any other of your favorite oils)
1 Tbsp. medium chili powder
1 tsp. granulated garlic
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a
rimmed baking sheet with parch-
ment or foil.
Cut turnips into "fries" (about
1 /2-inch thick). Drizzle with oil,
and sprinkle with chili powder and
garlic. Toss well with your hands to
coat.
Arrange in a single layer on the
prepared baking sheet. Cook 25-35
minutes until the "fries" are golden
and tender. Season to taste with salt
and pepper. Allow to cool for 1 min-
ute before removing from the pan.
Makes 6 servings.
