Smitten Kitchen has a farro and eggplant recipe that's good, but if you make it, I recommend leaving out the mozzarella cheese. It makes the dish too heavy.

Cube it, roast with olive oil, some salt and pepper. Then, when it's ready, take out of the oven and add minced garlic and chopped parsley or dill.

The important question is if they are Asian eggplants or the bigger ones used in European and Middle Eastern cooking.

If the latter- do Imam Bayildi. It's an amazing Turkish dish.

I stir fry it and add other veggies for Thai curry.

I made Bobby Flay's grilled ratatouille last week, and it was good. Don't undercook the eggplant though, I had to put it back on the grill.

Also I really like this dip and use sesame oil instead of tahini. https://www.marthastewart.com/336468/roasted-eggplant-dip

This, and then layer with sauce and mozzarella cheese and more eggplant. Instant eggplant lasagna, or individual eggplant pizzas.

Harissa and olive oil. Toss in the eggplant and bake. Delicious.

I always wondered what happens to used vegetables. Do they get washed and eaten or thrown away?

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


I’ve made that Cookie and Kate recipe and it was a hit at our house!
