Listed below are some eggplant concepts from Chef Nancy Berkoff…
- Roast an eggplant complete, within the oven or on the grill, till gentle sufficient to mash with a fork. Scoop out pulp and add oil and vinegar, garlic, and black pepper to make use of as a dip or salad dressing. This dish is typically referred to as “eggplant caviar.”
- For selfmade baba ghanoush, purée roasted eggplant and blend with garlic, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, chopped parsley, and olive oil. Use it as a dip for greens or as a sandwich filling.
- Combine diced, grilled eggplant with grilled peppers, lentils, onions, and garlic. Serve chilly, topped with balsamic French dressing, or scorching, atop grains, pasta, or pizza.
- Skip-the-Frying Baked Eggplant: Peel eggplant and lower into ½-inch slices. Create a breading together with your favourite crumbs (bread, cornmeal, and so on.) and dried Italian herbs (garlic powder, oregano, parsley, purple pepper flakes, and so on.). Spray eggplant slices with vegetable oil, coat with breading, place on non-stick pan, and bake till gentle. Layer baked eggplant right into a deep baking dish, alternating layers with thick tomato sauce; drained, diced, canned tomatoes; sliced mushrooms (if desired); and both shredded vegan cheese or thinly sliced extra-firm tofu. Cowl and bake till bubbly.
- Mini Japanese or Thai eggplant full of a mix of diced smoked tofu, tempeh, or veggie crumbles; pine nuts; and roasted peppers. Wrap in foil and bake.
- Make Eggplant Frisbees: Preheat oven to 375 levels. Place slices of unpeeled eggplant (about ½-inch thick) individually on a non-stick baking sheet. Sprinkle with grated vegan cheese, minced onions, sunflower seeds, and dietary yeast. Bake till bubbly and the eggplant is barely gentle. The Frisbees may be used as eggplant burgers served on a hearty roll with fixins.
