omg that eggplant dish looks sooo good. I make a Chinese-ish eggplant dish where you salt the eggplant and let it sit to get out excess moisture, then rinse and fry it up with sambal, green peppers and hot peppers, and a sauce made with ACV, soy, sesame oil and sugar. It's so tangy and spicy.

A super yummy, easy dish that uses eggplant is Caponata! It's kind of an Italian take on Ratatouille. When I make it I use: eggplant, zucchini, onion, bell pepper, olives, capers, tomato sauce, s&p, and any other spices to taste. You basically just cook everything down in a big pot/pan and can eat it plain, with pasta, or anything else you might want! The eggplant is kind of the star of the show and really gives it a delicious, distinct flavor!!

If you use a grater on the tofu you get a more even shred and it is easier to season all of it. Also just easier to fit in Taco's.

I also love red Thai curry with cooked carrots, eggplant, red Thai curry paste, coconut milk (canned), garlic, onions. I cook tofu cubes separately in the oven. When the curry is done I remove from the heat, I add some soy sauce, fresh lime juice, and some hot sauce to taste.

It's not really a recipe, but I added pan fried eggplant and mushrooms to spaghetti sauce, and let it simmer for an hour. Then topped the completed spaghetti dish with daiya cheese, it was really good!

Welcome back to the west coast :) Beautiful video. I love that you so consistently work in bread making. Two eggplant suggestions - ratatouille (not the composed layered casserole version but a dutch oven full of sloppy deliciousness, great end of summer dish for using cheap seasonal produce. ATK has a good method for inspo) and Pasta alla Norma (I usually look at the mediterranean dish's recipe but I don't know what to sub for the ricotta salata so would love to see your take on it).

Few Indian ways to cook eggplant- 1 Baingan bhartha (it's basically Fire roasted eggplant mashed with spices, onions, tomatoes and peas) 2 Badnekai yennegai (small stuff egplant) you get these small ones in any Indian store. You can look up KZfaq for diff variations of these recipes and I am 💯 sure you will love them. ❤️ lots of love, varsha

Baba ghanoush is delicious. It’s like chick pea hummus, but uses eggplant. I don’t have a recipe, but if you search for Refika’s Kitchen on KZfaq, she has several eggplant recipes. I love eggplant, too. 🍆 Also, you can make your own mushroom powder by grinding dried mushrooms. 🍄😊

I love to make eggplant and pesto sandwiches. I just slice eggplant into 1/4 slices the long way and cook it on each side (preferably on a ridged cast iron, but not necessary (on a grill would be great too). Then I toast some bread, add some vegan cheese slices (chao or violife are my favorite), slice a tomato, add a couple tablespoons of pesto (I do basil, walnut, olive oil, salt, and garlic pesto), and eat it. I love it, especially when my garden is prime eggplant, tomato, and basil season. My parents also grill eggplant, baste with olive oil (with Italian slices and minced garlic) on one side face down on the grill for 5-7 minutes until it starts to show some crispy bits and is rigid enough to flip. Another high heat oil may be better, make a sauce out of canned tomatoes fresh garlic, Italian seasoning, scallions, fresh basil. Add more olive oil and the tomato mixture to that to the new side, add vegan cheese (they do fresh mozz, some times I do a cashew garlic and nooch based parm & cook that side until the cheese is melted and the bottom is crispy. I top with more fresh basil. Side note: they use a charcoal grill and place the eggplant long side going with the grill marks for easier flipping.

I definitely plan to try these recipes soon for my meal preps! I also love eggplant and want to find more ways to prepare it other than eggplant parmesean. I know you love Indian food too, so you may want to try making Punjabi Eggplant (Baingan Bharta). I bought some in a pouch and ate it with some Jasmine rice, and it was delcious! There are several recipes for it I think you could tweek. You may also want to try Greek Eggplant Dip (Melitzanosalata). In Louisville Kentucky we have a place called Eat a Pita that has vegan options, and they used to have a large pita with that eggplant dip with all types of veggies, mushrooms and vegan tzatziki sauce. I hope experiment with these recipes on your channel!!

So next time use Chinese Eggplant. Will be skinner. If you ever come to SoCal you have to eat at one of the 3 Panda Inn restaurants.... Not express... Same company but Big difference. Nothing frozen and everything made from scratch and you get chocolate dipped fortune cookies with your check :) Anyways their Tofu and Spicy Eggplant - (Chinese eggplant with fried silken tofu in a spicy garlic sauce) is 🤤🤤🤤. But lookup any Thai recipe called Spicy Tofu Basil Eggplant. And don't forget the Mango Sticky rice for dessert!

I hate aubergine/eggplant so I usually cook it for pasta sauce. Cut into tiny pieces, pan fried a bit with onions and seasoning and then add some passata (and water as needed). Cook it for ages until the water cooks down as needed. Can add a dash of soya single cream to make it even richer but it's usually very creamy once the 🍆 over cooks and falls apart 🤤
