Guest guest Report post Posted September 7, 2000 i don't think drying it would be too good. maybe roast it and freeze it? i know that works well for peppers. what about maybe preserving them in olive oil? again, like roasted red peppers. i am sitting here thinking hard, and also realizing that i have never seen eggplant frozen on the veggie frozen food aisle, the only exception being breaded...there is an idea. good luck! - Cherrie Jacobsen Wednesday, September 06, 2000 5:50 PM Re: eggplant could you dry it? i've never tried it but it might work...

Guest guest Report post Posted September 8, 2000 Thanks for the eggplant storage ideas. Roasting and perserving it like roasted red pepper is a neat idea; I love roasted eggplant. I may give that a try. I hauled out a book published by our local Community Supported Agriculture Cooperative on preserving foods and they too indicated that eggplant is best used fresh and suggested making baba ganouj and freezing it as a storage method. They said that unprocessed eggplant doesn't hold up well to freezing. I figured out a very fun and quick way to prepare fresh eggplant. Its barbaqued eggplant; thought I'd share for anyone interested. Peel the eggplant and cut it into either rounds or slices about 1/4 inch thick. Lay the pieces of eggplant on a cookie sheet or broiler pan. Spread the up-facing sides of the eggplant and all edges liberally with your favorite barbaque sauce and broil for five minutes. Flip the eggplant pieces and spread with more sauce and broil another 5 mintues. Serve over a bed of couscous....very yummy. Our toddler even liked it!

Guest guest Report post Posted September 9, 2000 Hi I am new here! I just made a really yummy egg plant dish tonight. peeled and thinly sliced eggplant, fresh tomatoes sliced, fresh onion sliced thin, cheese of your choice and red pasta sauce of your choice. Layer starting with eggplant then top with the sauce. Bake in oven at 350 for about 20 minutes. Oh, I forgot I sprinkled some garlic and oregano over the dish before the sauce. You can serve over noodles or just eat alone. I think you may be able to prepare in those tin baking pans and then freeze the whole thing after cooking. Hope that helps!

Guest guest Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Suzanne, I usually don't spend a lot of time cooking with recipes. I love eggplant. I saute with green beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic, etc. It goes well sauted with most veggies.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 22, 2007 In a message dated 6/22/2007 5:08:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, writes: I got some great eggplant today,(regular purple kind, but small and tender) and plan to use one of the recipes for eggplant parm in the oven...do I slice it in circles or long ways? do I salt it and rinse it before? -------- When I was much, much younger, my Italian Mother in Law (ex for over 45 years now) taught me how to make eggplant parmigiana. She would not hear of cooking eggplant until she had: 1. Sliced it into circles 2. Stacked it in a bowl on top of paper towels 3. Put another paper towel or two on top 4. Weighted it on top with a heavy plate 5. Put it in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight before using it. The next day we would rinse it, dry it on paper towels bread and fry it, and then proceed with the rest of the recipe. It was WONDEFUL! It never had a bitter taste, and was not mushy when cooked. To this day I still make it the same way.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 25, 2007 Katie, I believe there there are vitamin bs in whole wheat, and most whole grain if not all? so she might not be eating that badly. Most people that dislike eggplant probably have had it not cooked right. The worst mistake is to undercook it. Raw egglant is awful even for us eggplant lovers. Your sauce idea is great. Some folks that claim not to like eggplant are surprised to find out that baba ganouj is almost all eggplant! , " cozycate " <cozycate wrote: > > My 16 year old granddaughter is vegan, but refuses to take dietary > supplements and I worry so much about her getting enough vitimin B. > She came for dinner a few nights ago and I wanted to get some > nutrition into the girl that she doesn't get from her normal diet of > peanut butter, wholewheat toast an pasta with marinara sauce. > Knowing she does not like eggplant, I made a great vegetable and bean > casserole with a spicy tomato sauce.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 28, 2008 I like them sliced thin, brushed with olive oil and grilled. You could do them like fried green tomatoes too, without using too much oil they wouldn't be too fatty. Amy Credi in te stesso Believe in yourself **************Ideas to please picky eaters.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 28, 2008 from Mike in this group: [PS -- I might add Italian bread crumbs on the top and a layer of fresh basil leaves in there somewhere..] Someone told me about this and I improvised it last night - WONDERFULL! I don't have an exact recipe, but this is basically what i did... slice 1 large eggplant soak in salt water till the water starts to get dark drain and rice eggplant slices broil (grill) eggplant slices on cookie sheet about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through - eggplant should be cooked but not withered... layer like lasagna: tomato sauce eggplant riccotta / cottage cheese tomato sauce mozzarella tomato sauce eggplant riccotta / cottage cheese tomato sauce mozzarella basically, use the eggplant instead of the noodles. It really came out great mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basically all You need is eggplant, water and lemon juice.So, in a jar put 1 eggplant thinly sliced and fill with 1 liter water.Let stand over night (in the fridge if you like).The next day remove the eggplant and add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons.Drink along the day. Do this 2 weeks in a row.I havent tested it, yet(lazy )It's simple and ... it's vegan :)Try it! What have you got to loose besides cholesterol? Let me know if it worked for You.Do You use a lot of coconut and palm oil? They say it makes the cholesterol levels go up.On the other hand olive oil will help your HDL (the good guy) go up and the LDL (the bad guy) go down.Cheers,BeatrizI tremble for my species when I reflect that God is just.-Thomas Jefferson--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com> wrote: Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com>Re: parents@gro ups.comFriday, June 27, 2008, 4:37 PM my parents were a bit like that, before I went vegie, and vegan when I was a kid, we didnt have much, so it was a question of eat whats there or go without. my mother always seemed to be in the kitchen, cooking/baking making jam etc......... ...she still cooks for me ..........

I don't cook aubergine very often, but when I go out I sometimes have garlic aubergine with green bean rice. I must find out how that is made and let you know.

It can block the formation of free radicals, help control cholesterol levels and is also a source of folic acid and potassium.[6] Beatriz Jun 27, 2008 5:13 PM @gro ups.com Re: parents... cholesterol Well, Dear...I have no clue about eggplant's chemistry nor of what transits out of the eggplant and into the water. It's that this recipe comes in natural health books and also saw it here on TV.So, it's up to you whether you want to try it out or not...Cheers,Beatriz--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com> wrote: Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com>Re: parents... cholesterol@gro ups.comFriday, June 27, 2008, 4:58 PM That sounds wierd? I do eat half a grapefruit every morning which is supposed to help. Dont think there is anything nutritionally valuable in an aubergine is there? Probably the vitamin C in the lemon as an antioxident? I am aware of how bad coconut oil is , so have cut down, I do take an EFA suppliment ( but mostly because I believe it helps with the migranes I rarely get ), dont know if it helps with HDL/LDL levels.

Basically all You need is eggplant, water and lemon juice.So, in a jar put 1 eggplant thinly sliced and fill with 1 liter water.Let stand over night (in the fridge if you like).The next day remove the eggplant and add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons.Drink along the day. Do this 2 weeks in a row.I havent tested it, yet(lazy )It's simple and ... it's vegan :)Try it! What have you got to loose besides cholesterol? Let me know if it worked for You.Do You use a lot of coconut and palm oil? They say it makes the cholesterol levels go up.On the other hand olive oil will help your HDL (the good guy) go up and the LDL (the bad guy) go down.Cheers,BeatrizI tremble for my species when I reflect that God is just.-Thomas Jefferson--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com> wrote: Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com>Re: parents@gro ups.comFriday, June 27, 2008, 4:37 PM my parents were a bit like that, before I went vegie, and vegan when I was a kid, we didnt have much, so it was a question of eat whats there or go without. my mother always seemed to be in the kitchen, cooking/baking making jam etc......... ...she still cooks for me ..........

My mom eats nothing but chicken and gorges on candy when she thinks no one is looking. I worry about them both, but especially my dad. He has NO leeway... Unfortunately he's the product of his generation and all he knows is red meat and starch.
