Stir fry that shit with some tofu in a sweet sauce.

Roasting is always a good choice. Otherwise I guess you can make some tempura or any aubergine fry out of it.

If you still have some left I'd recommend mapo nasu.

Stewed in tomato sauce, maybe with garlic and onions, maybe mint or basil, maybe some croutons or fried shallots or nuts.

Knock yourself out.

Or make baba ghanouj if you have tahini and lemons.

You can also make a nice crumble or a gratin with it.

Unlike courgettes, there is not a lot of water in aubergines so whatever you choose, you should fry it beforehand during 20/30min before putting any other ingredient with it, otherwise any other ingredient will burn and the aubergine will just begin to be cooked.

I breaded and fried them and made a pasta-less lasagna with them. It's a HUGE pain in the fucking ass but it is amazingly delicious.

I just had the following today:

Remove the stem and cut in half. Let it rest submerged in salty water for about 30-45 minutes. Scrape out the pulp safe for .5-1cm from the peel and fry the hollowed out fruit in olive oil.

For the filling, fry red red onions and garlic with whole cumin and coriander seeds. When the onions are done, add diced tomatoes, tuna (some prefer seared ground meat instead), diced green and black olives, tomato paste, tabasco sauce, oregano, ground black pepper and a bit of olive oil. Depending on the amount of filling you need, you can also dice the scraped out pulp and add it back in. Let it sit on medium heat for five to ten minutes, stir occasionally.

Fill the hollowed out eggplant, add cheese of your liking and sheep's cheese on top. Bake in pre-heated oven at about 200 C until it's got a nice crust.

Serve with cooked rice.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm doing, but it tasted quite good.

Filled (basically shove meat sauce in there and spread cheese and into the oven, google it), tempura'd, in a wook, or on the grill with some olive oil and herbs. Is all I know how to cook at least.

my fave things to do with them (most of which have been mentioned)

-tempura
-roast (oil, salt, pepper, garlic... maybe a pinch of cumin and cinnamon, or rosemary, oregano, and thyme)
- eggplant parm
- stew
- stuff with boiled rice, and sprinkle a little salt and sugar on top. Steam over chicken soup, and serve on the side, or even in the soup with a bit of ginger and soya

dice the eggplant, spray it, salt it, put on a paper-towel lined dish and microwave for 8-15 minutes on high until it reduces to about 1/3 its size.

This way, all of the moisture in the eggplant steams out and you can brown it in a pan, which makes it super delicious even without a sauce.

You can brown it in a pan anyway, you just need more oil - eggplant is nature's spongebob.

>>5816201

the point is that it doesn't sponge up the oil and get all, well, oily. It just gets crisp and great.

Seriously, try it.

>>5816208
I just let the pan and oil heat up first.

don't crowd the pan - it works just fine.
