Caponata With A Drizzle Of Basil Oil And Parmesan Crisps

While our heart for social justice grows out from the gospel, social justice by itself will not communicate the gospel. We need gospel proclamation, for as much as people may see our good deeds, they cannot hear the good news unless we tell them. Social justice, though valuable as an expression of Christian love, should, especially as a churchwide endeavor, serve the goal of gospel proclamation.

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop the apricots and soak in the vinegar whilst you preapre the  rest.
Fry the onion and garlic and then add aubergine and chilli.  Cook until
soft. Add the peppers and fry until coloured but still  crisp. Add
tomato, courgettes, apricots, vinegar, sugar and pine  kernels. Season
generously and cook briefly until the courgette has  turned bright
green. Remove from the heat and stir in the olives and  shredded basil.
Chill.  When ready to serve, serve in pretty dishes with a drizzle of
basil  oil and parmesan crisps on top. This works well served on sweet
potato fritters or toasted ciabatta.  To make the Parmesan crisps: Pre
heat a grill or very hot oven. Put a  plain ring cutter on a baking
sheet and spread a thin layer of  parmesan inside. Carefully remove the
cutter and repeat several more  times. Put the tray in the oven or
under the grill until the cheese  is golden and bubbling. Remove the
tray from the heat and leave a  minute or so until you can pick up the
circle with a palette knife.  For curly crisps, drape over a rolling
pin and leave to set or, leave  plain for straight crisps.  Converted

According to research, the more hours a man and woman spend alone together, even if they begin with a firm intention of chastity, the further they tend to go and the more likely they are to lose control completely. Hearing this, most Christian young people have the good sense to see that couples who really want to remain chaste need to limit their time alone. That’s realism. Unfortunately, the more time they’ve been spending alone, the less obvious such realism will be to them. The solution is that they need to set their limits firmly at the beginning of their relationship, while their heads are still clear and realism is easier to achieve.
