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!

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!

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!

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.

looking for an eggplant dish to try

 

Hi everyone

 

I bought two very nice eggplants today at the produce

stand and was wondering if anyone had a recipe I could

use them in.

 

Thanks

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.

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!

doing a pasta dish with it if possible. Thanks.

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.

Dice it, and fry it slowly with onions until they caramlize. Then add a tin of

lentils and cherry tomatoes and cook till they pop and season. I used a teaspoon

of cumin and black pepper, was lovely.

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

Can you believe that I am allergic to eggplant? It was always one of my

favourite foods and I developed an allergy about 9 years ago and can't eat it

anymore. This gives me a lot of grief.

Zucchini has been one of my favorites and I suddenly developed an allergy to it.

Fortunately I can still eat yellow squash, which I substititue in most recipies.

Dont think there is anything nutritionally valuable in an aubergine is there? Probably the vitamin C in the lemon as an antioxident?

Hi Peter,I heard/read a couple of times of this homemade remedy for cholesterol.It's rather simple. 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 :P)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:

 NO - definitely not. 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.

All my dad eats is red meat and starch, and wonders why his health is so bad and he's overweight. :( 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.

 NO - definitely not. 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.

from wiki:

Studies of the Institute of Biology of São Paulo State University, Brazil (Instituto de Biociências of the UNESP de Botucatu, São Paulo) showed that eggplant is effective in the treatment of high blood cholesterol hypercholesterolemi a.

It can block the formation of free radicals, help control cholesterol levels and is also a source of folic acid and potassium.[6]

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:

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.

Hi Peter,I heard/read a couple of times of this homemade remedy for cholesterol.It's rather simple. 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 :P)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

actually it didnt have cheese. and she made her own tomato sauce. which i found to be very bland. italians dont use a lot of spices in their foods. i think here as americans we tend to over spice a lot of things.

when her mom came out at the end of the year.. everything she made, tasted bland to me. adn all our foods tasted to rich and salty for her.

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:

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.

Hi Peter,I heard/read a couple of times of this homemade remedy for cholesterol.It's rather simple. 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 :P)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

All my dad eats is red meat and starch, and wonders why his health is so bad and he's overweight. :( 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.

 NO - definitely not. 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.
