eggplant

[Mrs. Chipotle]

Grilled eggplant is yummy! I found some baby ones and made them last Valentines Day. They were very elegant looking.

I also salt mine before cooking to draw out the water. (Not when grilling over the grill, but when I use them in baked dishes such as eggplant parmesan.)

Everyone in my family loves eggplant parmesan. I have never personally made it, but I get it a lot when we go to a local Italian restaurant.

Hmmm...I don't know if I've ever tried eggplant. I'll have to try some of the recipes in here & see if I like it. Thanks for all the recipes.

Eggplant parm is SO good. It tasted nothing like I expected it would...but I mean that in a good way.

I have never had eggplant but have heard that it is good either grilled or in eggplant parmasean. I will have to definetly true it since majority of the people here said it was good. Are there any like good herbs that you should use if you grill it.

try marinating the eggplant in olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and parsley before grilling

Eggplant lasagna is wonderful, too, if you're one of those who fear pasta for their carbs.

Also, try steaming an eggplant, mashing the ends (keep the stalk intact), dipping it in egg (you can put bellpeppers or tomatoes or even some meat if you like!) and frying it. Simple yumminess right there!

Eggplants are ideal for side dishes. Simply steamed eggplants, those coated with egg and then fried.In addition, eggplants are good source of folate and potassium.FYI, the lighter the colour of the eggplant, the milder the flavour. :-)
