I made this a couple of weeks ago and canned it. We had a family gathering this week and everything I made is GONE (almost a gallon of the stuff) ![]() Thanks for the recipe - it is awesome! Now I'm trying to find a really good hiding place for another batch so there will be some left for me! |

Li's eggplant Fry up some eggplants in oil add a splash of vinegar, some sweet wine and some sugar (I added honey which worked well!) add some corriander, serve with rice! Yumyum. I also grill eggplant then top one side with pesto and cheese Grilled eggplants also make a nice topping for spicy lentils |

Funny, I was just talking to my wife yesterday about what to do with all the eggplant we have. Boy, we just slice it, lay it on paper towels, salt them for 15 min, dab up all the excess water, rinse, coat with egg and italian bread crumbs, and fry for a side with pasta. Sometimes Rollatini too.
Great thread. Greg |

Mojo's Eggplant Dip: Peel eggplant but don't fret about getting every last bit. Slice and/or dice. Fry in olive oil with salt and pepper. When eggplant begins to brown, add garlic in QUANTITY and cook just long enough to soften up the garlic without burning. Transfer to blender. Add curry, yogurt and a bit of lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Adjust flavor; if necessary, throw in one pickled habanero (blend VERY thoroughly). Transfer to Corningware dish and give to Mrs., who will take it to work and hog all the credit.

Melanzane (Eggplant) alla Parmigiana Siciliano
Eggplant Parmigiana is Sicilian in origin and is found in various guises all over the island. I am a vegertarian and this is one of my absolute favorite meals!

Gave my supervisor a Rossa Bianca eggplant. This is how she said she makes it. Not much different really from some of the recipes on here but this is a very simple one.
She cuts the eggplant about 3/8" thick (judging by the space between her fingers while illustrating), dips them in egg batter then in (dried?) bread crumbs, before deep frying them. She said the egg batter coats them enough they don't soak up the oil. I had tried lazily baking an eggplant simply by cutting it in half, not even peeling it, then coating both sides with cooking oil as I had no olive oil. As you can imagine it came out TERRIBLE. Yuk! Spit out the first bite and threw the rest away. It was mushy and green and nasty. My error of course so I will have to give it one more shot cooking it a better way. Looks like I'll have two more Rossa Bianca before our first hard frost sneaks in. I also have a couple Diamond growing and about ready to be picked. Jeff |

The super lazy way is to cut about a quarter inch slices, olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt, pepper or spices to your liking toss in a bowl and slap it on the grill. I do this with any harvested veggie zuchhini, eggplant, summer squash, garlic, onions, green onions with peppers I put on just plain.
