Baba Ganoush for snacking.

Stuffed eggplant are easy weeknight meals. I don't usually use a recipe, but this is very similar to what I do and it's quite good. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/michael-chiarello/moms-stuffed-eggplant-recipe-1947404

This dish is delicious but requires lots of prep work. One of my favorites from this Chinese cooking YouTube channel.

I’m making Pasta alla Norma with the eggplant I picked up this week. Will either use this recipe or one from Cookie and Kate - they both call for roasting the eggplant instead of sautéing. https://giadzy.com/blogs/recipes/pasta-alla-norma

I also love baba ghanoush, but haven’t been happy with what I’ve made at home.

This recipe is very good and no reason you couldn’t use eggplant.

Stuff and bake

Cube it and use it in your kebabs, or roasted with other vegetables.

I do an Asian stir fry with eggplant, onion and anything else I have on hand.

Fried eggplant with marinara sauce, and shredded mozzarella if you want to add cheese.

I like to slice them in half, rub olive oil on the exposed surface, then put it facedown in the oven and bake it (don’t forget to poke the skin with a fork a few times). Then when it’s soft and cooked I scoop out the flash and chop it up, and then I mix it inti pasta with sautéed onions and garlic, maybe some tomato. Pine nuts if you feel like it, and grated parm. Super easy and a crowd-pleaser around here

Ratatouille.

Most people eat it but if it’s small enough you could put it in your…….

If it's a Chinese eggplant you can make Tortang Talong.

Moussaka (it’s involved to make but it freezes well so you can do it in big batches)

The farmers market is full of eggplant, especially smaller, thinner, light purple ones. Any suggestions on how to use them? The only thing I ever make is eggplant Parmesan, which isn’t an easy, weeknight kind of dish.
Thanks for suggestions.
