I suggest using Japanese eggplants because I think they are sweeter. I also add a squeeze of lemon to the sauce and crumbled goat cheese. :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.thewednesdaychef.com/the_wednesday_chef/2010/06/francis-lams-letmyeggplantgo-free-spaghetti.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewednesdaychef.com/the_wednesday_chef/2010/06/francis-lams-letmyeggplantgo-free-spaghetti.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1614115 Mon, 05 May 2014 16:09:40 +0000 Dagny 1614115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everybody - so many yummy ideas. Me and LO just enjoyed our eggplant for lunch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613408 Mon, 05 May 2014 12:21:36 +0000 PurplePeony 1613408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make an eggplant purée. You put the whole eggplant on the grill or in the oven at 375-400 and let it roast until it starts to collapse in on itself. Remove and let cool until you can handle it. Open it up and remove as many of the seeds as you can, then scoop out the flesh and put it in a food processor. Whir it until it's smooth. Cook up about a cup of béchamel sauce (butter, flour, and milk, or coconut oil, flour, and unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free version), add the eggplant purée and stir until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This goes well under a heavy tomato-based beef stew, roasted or sautéed veggies, or anything else that sounds like a tasty combo :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613405 Mon, 05 May 2014 12:20:56 +0000 Chillybear 1613405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cut it length wise into slices brush with olive oil, sat, pepper and grill it. you can either eat it like that or you can make rollentini - layer with mozz cheese and spinach, tomatoes and roll it up and top with some tomato sauce </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613380 Mon, 05 May 2014 12:13:01 +0000 dagret 1613380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dagny: we brush it with olive oil, garlic salt and pepper and grill it in speaers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613376 Mon, 05 May 2014 12:10:57 +0000 Boheme 1613376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slice it, store the slices overnight between paper towels, and bread and bake it the next day. I serve it with pasta and red sauce to make a really good eggplant parmesan.</p> <p><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/mario-batali/eggplant-parmigiana-recipe.html#" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/mario-batali/eggplant-parmigiana-recipe.html#</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613375 Mon, 05 May 2014 12:10:39 +0000 looch 1613375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to roast the whole thing in the oven until it is really soft. Let it cool, then peel off the skin and remove as many seeds as you can.</p> <p>You can blend it with some tomatoes and parmesan cheese, spread on baguette slices and eat that way. </p> <p>I find eggplant has to be very well cooked otherwise it repeats on me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613368 Mon, 05 May 2014 12:08:11 +0000 Tanjowen 1613368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go the total unhealthy route with it. Slice in thin rounds and salt &amp; pepper. Set between 2 towels (to get all the water out) and then pan fry in olive oil and serve with a garlic cream cheese dip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613355 Mon, 05 May 2014 12:02:06 +0000 JerricaBenton 1613355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Peel, cube, pan fry in olive oil (adding as you go cuz it sucks up the oil) garlic, salt and red pepper flakes. Cook til browned. Eat it on it's own or tossed with pasta. Also really good if you let it cool add to an Italian salad like with bread chunks and tomatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613335 Mon, 05 May 2014 11:57:00 +0000 Dagny 1613335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MAMIMAMI - thank you! This has definitely given me some ideas.</p> <p>@ANAGRAM - the big one. Italian, I believe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613325 Mon, 05 May 2014 11:53:40 +0000 Anagram 1613325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it the big eggplant or the chinese (skinny) eggplant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/simple-way-to-cook-eggplant-help#post-1613324 Mon, 05 May 2014 11:53:16 +0000 MamaMoose 1613324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man I make a delicious eggplant stack. It can be an appetizer or a full meal if you eat a couple. Peel Eggplant and slice into 1/2 inch thick slices. Dip slices in eggwash, and then in bread crumbs. Bake breaded eggplant at 350 until browned. Top with a slice of fresh tomato, and slice of cold fresh mozzarella. Add a little oregano, garlic salt, and drizzle with olive oil.
