Two weeks of eggplant in a row! Either that's a wonderful thing or it's intimidating. The latter may be especially true if someone in your family is not a fan. But you gotta use them up, so for the fans
and the fearful, here are 5 ways:
- Nasu Dengaku -- Japanese style, broiled with miso (Note: this recipe can be made with honey instead of agave syrup, with apple juice instead of mirin, and with water instead of saki)
- Eggplant Parmesan -- Italian style, fried and breaded, then baked with cheese and tomato sauce
- Baba Ghanoush -- Middle-eastern style, oven-roasted till super-soft, then puréed
- Grilled Eggplant -- American style, done on the BBQ
- Caponata -- Italian style, antipasto relish
