Same way you make anything not taste like shit.

Slice it thin, bread it, fry it, cover it in tomato sauce and cheese.

Don't use Italian eggplant unless you peel it

Japanese and Indian eggplant are GOAT, I literally cannot fathom how you can make them taste bad. They absorb things like sponges and taste amazing.

Fry in olive oil with garlic, salt + pepper, literally all you need

salt slices of it, pat it dry after moisture leaks, fry it with onions and garlic

My nigga

Thats exactly what i was going to post

>>6663138
peel, slice, bread, fry. put on sandwiches with pickled peppers and cheese.

sometimes instead of just plain tomato sauce for pasta, i'll blend half tomato and half eggplant together.

Smother it down with lots of onion and ground beef. Eat over rice.

Back when I lived in Russia, eggplant fried in flour, mayonnaise, and garlic was the absolute tits.

This is very similar. Just pass on the cayenne and use a more neutral oil.

What do you do with that yellow squash? I sauteed one earlier with some red onion and tomatoes, it was alright.

>>6665690
ill prob fry it with the eggplant. thats the last yellow squash of the year, the vine borers killed off all the squash plants.

gonna try the saffron mayo recipe above, i actually have 12 saffron strands in the fridge from the flowers i grew last fall. seems like a pinch worth.

This.

I've gotten 3 "eggplant haters" to start eating it ever since I started growing the japanese eggplants.

Asian eggplants just seem more condensed-- less seeds/air and more meat.

Eggplant parm is pretty damn good, chicken parm is better imo but eggplant parm holds it's own if done right.
