Avocado-Tomatillo Sauce (for Taquitos)

Avocado-Tomatillo Sauce (for Taquitos) by Andra Kiser

Roasted Eggplant by Evil Fairy

This is a dish you can serve as a side,bubbling hot,over pasta or cold with pita bread. You can either leave skin on or peel. You can also do on the stove,only you will need more oil. Eggplant acts as a sponge and will soak up all the oil. You use much less oil when you roast it.

I know it's more of a pasta, but we think of couscous as a starch, but not like pasta. The spices can be varied to change the flavor. It is quick and easy, and popular with kids. You can make this vegetarian by…
