What do you make with eggplant?

Quarter them up and throw them in a stir fry or curry. They absorb flavor very well. Lots of Thai dishes have eggplant in them.

We sautéed it and also roast it. Nothing fancy but its good.

Yes! Ratatouille is delicious - especially this time of year when summer vegetables are plentiful.

You can stuff them with various things - sautéed ground beef, onion and tomatoes topped with cheese, cooked rice and beans, etc. and then roast them in the oven.

Eggplant caponata is delicious on toast.

I use it in ratatouille or roast it. Those little eggplants are adorable!

DH says years ago his mother rolled it in cornmeal and fried it. (cornmeal batter)

Those look like fairytale eggplant

jeremysgirl had some great eggplant recipes and tips that she shared with me when I got eggplant in my farm box several times

Eggplant isn’t my favourite tbh though

Michael Franks has a song about his girlfriend who cooks eggplant about 19 different ways. 😁

Eggplant

This recipe, roasted aubergine(eggplant), peppers, broccoli etc. We swap out the courgettes for cauliflower as dh is not a fan of courgettes.

I grew up eating fried eggplant. After peeling, slicing and soaking for a bit in salt water, it is dipped in a batter and fried in a pan. Yummy. I just made some last week.

Totang Talong...a Filipino eggplant omelet! You can leave out the pork and it is just as delicious!
