HUNGRY GERALD

Chilly night at HG/BSK’s oceanfront home on serene, democratic Prince Edward Island. Whitecaps adorned the sea and fierce winds rustled the shrubs and trees (cold continued the next day with the addition of a brief rainfall). BSK responded to the weather by cooking a body and soul warming casserole. The ingredients included ground lamb, eggplant, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and an unusual mix of egg and yogurt–plus cumin and other spices and herbs.While cooking, the melange was smoothed with BSK’s immersion blender. BSK served steaming bowls with picante harissa and yogurt speckled with zaatar. HG declared this HG’s favorite  casserole and hoped there would be enough for lunch the next day. Fortunately, there was.
