The more I study recipes and their origins the more fascinated I become. Take Thai food for example, it s food shows the migration of several peoples across its borders.
Thai food combines the curries of India with the Asian spices of Chinese cuisine.
The following recipe is a direct result of my southern roots married with my adopted northern cuisine. Where I grew up in the south, instead of mashed potatoes we would always have eggplant dressing with Christmas or Thanksgiving. I started thinking of traditional northern dishes of which to marry with. My best result was cabbage leaves. From there I realized that stuffed cabbage leaves alone would not suffice.
