looking for easy eggplant receipe?

Question

i have lots of fresh eggplant in my garden. I need a good recipe that my husband will eat

Answer 1

Hunkar Begendi ( Turkish Eggplant Cream )

This literally translates as 'the Sultan's Delight', and it is that! The first time I had it, I fell in love. Mild, rich, buttery - it perfectly complemented the braised beef (in tomato sauce) that it was meant to accompany. This is a very subtle dish. If you want FLAVOUR, look elsewhere. This is flavourful in a more refined way, and also a lesson to our overly-spiced palates.

INGREDIENTS:
3 medium eggplants
1 tablespoon lemon juice
6 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup hot milk (more may be necessary)
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
grated greek kasseri cheese or kefalotiri or parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Grill eggplants whole without peeling them by holding over a flame and turning slowly, or prick skin in several places and set in hot oven.
When the skin begins to break and the inside pulp feels soft, slip off the skin; discard sacs containing seeds and chop up pulp; put pulp in a saucepan.
Mix lemon juice with pulp and simmer until very soft, stirring often (10-15 minutes).
Meanwhile, melt butter, add flour to it and allow flour to brown.
Beat the butter and flour mixture into the eggplant.
Slowly add several tablespoons of hot milk and the nutmeg and continue beating until mixture resembles mashed potatoes.
Lastly add several tablespoons of grated cheese and cook several minutes more.
Serve immediately.



Eggplant Parmesan

This is a no fry variation of this popular dish, and is just as delicious!

INGREDIENTS:
3 eggplant, peeled and thinly sliced
2 eggs, beaten
4 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
6 cups spaghetti sauce, divided
1 (16 ounce) package mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Dip eggplant slices in egg, then in bread crumbs. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 5 minutes on each side.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish spread spaghetti sauce to cover the bottom. Place a layer of eggplant slices in the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat with remaining ingredients, ending with the cheeses. Sprinkle basil on top.
Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Answer 2

You can simply boil it. Then mash it. Add vinegar with a dash of salt and thinly sliced fresh onion.

Also, if you want to try this one..... broil it then remove the skin, then dip it in a beat 1 egg with a dash of salt. Then fry it till the egg turns light brown.

If you like, you can include this as vegetable for Chicken Curry. All you have to do is to cut the eggplant into for pieces. When the
chicken curry is almost done, put the eggplant under the main dish.

Also you can do this one....Fry a crashed head of garlic, then put the sliced onion, then a ground beef. Once the mixture is almost dry, set aside. Grill the eggplants, then open it and put the ground beef mixture. The bake or deep fry. Serve with sliced tomatoes.

Answer 4

INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 large eggplant
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Italian-style salad dressing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
Slice the eggplant into 8 round slices, each 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Trim the skin, maintaining the round shape of the slices. In a small bowl, whip together the egg and water. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate small bowl.
Dip the eggplant slices one at a time into the egg and water mixture, then into the breadcrumbs. One by one, place the coated slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Top the slices with equal amounts of tomato, Parmesan cheese and Italian-style salad dressing.
Bake in the preheated oven approximately 15 minutes. Change oven setting to broil, and continue cooking 3 to 5 minutes. Check the slices frequently while broiling to avoid burning.

Answer 5

Roast the eggplants whole until tender (350) While still warm scoop out the meat and puree with butter, salt, cumin, coriander and a little chopped cilantro. This makes an amazing dip for pita bread.

Answer 6

Rachel Ray diced it up, put on a pan and drizzled them with olive oil and salt and pepper and roasted in the oven with red peppers and onions. She then put the mix inside a toasted sub bun, covered with provolone and put it under the broiler......she may have added spaghetti sauce or bbq or something too.
