Guest guest Report post Posted August 9, 2008 i8 got this recipe early this week i bet its very good and its japanese JAPANESE EGGPLANT WITH LIGHT MISO, GINGER AND SESAME Use the skinny japanese or italian eggplants 6 eggplants dark sesame oil (1 tsp) 2 tbsp light colored miso paste 2 tbsp grated ginger root 1 tbsp sesame seeds Rub a little oil on the outside of the whole eggplants (do not take skins off) Grill or broil eggplants until almost done. Take out of the fire and make a slit on them (do not peel). Mix the miso and grated ginger together, add the dark sesame oil, and stuff a little of this paste lenghtwise into the slits that you made in the eggplants. If you are using the rounder eggplants like Rosa Bianca, then simply cut them in half length wise and bake or broil this way. Add the miso mixture on the cut surface. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and broil until the seeds are golden. thanks to rose that this recipe is possible , " cpoma2 " <cpomaster wrote: > > Does anyone have a good recipe for eggplant?

Guest guest Report post Posted August 9, 2008 I posted one a couple days ago for couple days ago, I think, for PENNE WITH PROVENCAL VEGETABLES. It is yummy and so very easy,. I am making it right now to keep for dinner tomorrow. I normally don't cook or Sundays, so make ahead dishes are a winner with me. I don't know if muchrooms are concidered Provencal vegetables, but I throw some in anyway, cause I love mushrooms.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 9, 2008 I'm from the south and this is how I remember my mother and grandmothers cooking eggplant. Yum. Easy Fried Eggplant INGREDIENTS: 2 tablespoons canola oil (I find I keep having to add oil) 1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced 3 eggs, beaten 2 cups dry bread crumbs DIRECTIONS: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in crumbs, and place in hot oil. Fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. , " cpoma2 " <cpomaster wrote: > > Does anyone have a good recipe for eggplant?

Guest guest Report post Posted August 11, 2008 I love eggplants and I also grow them. So far my favorite cultivar is Rosa Bianca, but we also like and grow others. What do you grow? Which one is so productive? I would like to know. Some of my favorite eggplant dishes: broiled eggplant with miso and ginger (recipe on files) Eggplant parmigiana (I make a lower fat version) Baba ganoush (pureed grilled eggplant dip with middle eastern seasonings) Ratatouille Grilled eggplant (whole) sliced and dressed with minced parsley/garlic and olive oil (this is called escalivada in Catalonia) eggplant pizza (yum! pre-roast or grill/broil before using as topping) Caponata (a sicilian eggplant salad that has tomatoes, eggplant, onions, celery, olives, capers and lemon rind) I need a few more myself, a few plants have baby eggplants on them that are getting larger...

Guest guest Report post Posted August 13, 2008 I live in Israel and sometimes I think we are the eggplant capital of the world. Here are some of the ways I use them: Salads start with a whole roasted eggplant. I roast it on a grate on the stovetop, outdoors on a grill or in the oven. cut in half and remove the flesh. mayonnaise - add some fresh minced garlic and about 1 heaping tablespoon of mayonaise - combine tehina - add a couple of tablespoons of tehina and combine salad - stir in a few tablespoons of oil and whip well with a spoon. season with salt and pepper. add finely diced tomatoes, cucumbers and scallions or onions. green tehina - cut the eggplant in half and arrange on a plate (in skin) - top with tehina that has been mixed with a large amount of finely chopped flat leaf parsley. sprinkle with roasted pinenuts. I guess this is as good a place as any : home made tehina sauce- tehina, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, salt to taste, water to thin. If I want to make " green " I use a stick blender or food processor and add about half a bunch of parsley to a sauce that began with 1/2 c tehina. Eggplant slices: pan fry thin slices of unpeeled eggplant in oil til browned. Layer in a glass pie plate. On each layer sprinkle a little bit of sugar and scatter onion rings and a bay leaf or two. Drizzle a bit of cider vinegar and keep layering. Cover, refrigerate and let sit at least a few hours. Serve at room temperature. Roasted eggplant and vegetables: on a " pammed " baking sheet - in about 1 " cubes - eggplant, red pepper, tomatoes and onions cut in 6 wedges, zuchinni if desired - drizzle lightly with olive oil and roast at about 400 until done. Sprinkle with kosher salt and whatever - serve at room temperature. ( This is also good tossed with short pasta and served as a pasta salad) My personal current favorite: Cut an eggplant in 6 lengthwise wedges. Drizzle with oilive oil. Cook on very hot grill until cooked on all sides. I eat this on sandwiches ( great wih midle eastern-y stuff, with a salty cheese, with plain mayo and tomato etc.)and just about any other way I can - sort of as an all purpose everything - on top of leftover rice with a bit of soy sauce etc. There are other recipes I use for salads but those usually mean rechecking the cookbooks. Hope these give someone some ideas. Donna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks for sharing all your eggplant ideas. How long do you think it takes to roast in the oven and at what temp do you set your oven? I'll have to try some of your suggestions. Thanks for sharing them. My newest favorite way to prepare Eggplant is to make Eggplant Teriyaki. It is so good over basmati rice. The recipe is in our Eggplant recipe files. Judy - Donna Moncharsh Wednesday, August 13, 2008 5:34 AM Re: Re: Eggplant I live in Israel and sometimes I think we are the eggplant capital of the world.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 13, 2008 I think it takes about an hour at 375. I don't pierce or stab with a knife but I will admit that I have had eggplants explode so I kind of recommend doing it. Also- after the pulp is removed, drain off the excess liquid.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks for those urls, Barbara. Eggplant is a fabulous thing to use for veggies and vegans - so versatile and yesssss so healthy too I do warn you all, however, that some of these recipes have too high a quantity of oil in them to qualify as low-fat - and that would undercut in many ways the health advantages of eggplant. Try baking it, sauteeing it in stock/water/wine, or even frying it, so to speak, without oil. Much better!
