Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.
When you are on ZReduction you are allowed to eat Chinese Eggplant. Please do not confuse Chinese eggplant with regular globe eggplant. The globe eggplant will stall your weight loss. Those are the fat ones. See the images below to help you make the distinction. And consider reading this great article by Sheela Prakash before your next visit to the grocery store.
I have decided the grilled eggplant tastes better than potato chips! Even better than French fries! And it’s so easy.
Servings: Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 1 Chinese eggplant
- sea salt
- olive oil spray
Instructions:
Cut your eggplant in half crosswise. Then cut those sections the long way to make four pieces.
Spray them immediately with a bit of olive oil. You have to cook eggplant right away or it will get brown and mushy. Then sprinkle the pieces with sea salt. A generous grate of sea salt will be good.
Place the eggplant flesh-side down on the grill or your grill pan. Cook on medium high until you have some nice, golden stripes. This will only take a minute or two. Then turn the eggplant over to the skin side and grill that too. You want the eggplant to be moist. Just don’t grill it until it falls through the cracks.
I love it hot but cooled off is okay too.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.

This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
