Answer 1

Teriyaki Eggplant
Serves 6

6 medium Chinese eggplants (about 1-1/2 pounds)
12 scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-1/2-inch lengths
2 tablespoons sesame oil
About 16 to 20 ten-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 1 hour

Teriyaki Sauce:
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup rice wine or sake
2 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

* Trim the stem ends off the eggplants, halve or quarter lengthwise, depending on thickness, and slice into 2-inch chunks. Thread 2 eggplant pieces and 3 scallion pieces alternately onto each skewer, starting and ending with scallions. Arrange the skewered vegetables on a cookie sheet and brush with the sesame oil.
* Prepare a medium-low fire for grilling, and place the grill 3 to 4 inches from the heat. Arrange the skewered eggplants and scallions on the grill and cook, turning frequently, until well browned. Arrange on a serving platter.
* Meanwhile, combine the Teriyaki Sauce ingredients in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Stir to dissolve the sugar and transfer to a serving bowl.
* Drizzle a little sauce over the skewers, and serve the rest on the side for dipping.

Saucy Chinese Eggplant
Serves 6

2 pounds eggplant, rinsed, trimmed, and cut lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Sauce:
1-1/2 cups Chinese Chicken Broth (broth flavored with ginger, scallions and rice wine)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1-1/2 tablespoons rice wine or sake
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar or Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Minced Seasonings:
2 tablespoons minced scallions
1-1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1-1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1-1/2 teaspoons hot chili paste
2 tablespoons minced scallion greens

* Arrange the eggplant slices on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels and sprinkle on both sides with the salt. Let sit for 1 hour.
* Preheat the broiler. Brush off the salt from the eggplant, and brush lightly with 1-1/2 tablespoons of the sesame oil on both sides. Place the eggplant about 3 inches from the heat source and broil for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Turn over and broil for 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until golden on both sides. Let cool slightly, then cut into finger-size pieces about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
* Combine the Sauce ingredients and blend well.
* Heat a large flameproof casserole, add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, and heat until hot. Add the Minced Seasonings and stir-fry for about 15 seconds, until fragrant.
* Add the sauce mixture and heat until boiling. Add the eggplant fingers, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until tender.
* Uncover, increase the heat to high, and cook until the sauce is reduced to a glaze. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the minced scallions.

Answer 7

EGGPLANT PARMESAN W/ TOMATO SAUCE

2 pounds (about 2 medium-sized) eggplant
Salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh bread crumbs, seasoned with 1/4 chopped fresh basil leaves and 1/4 cup pecorino
2 cups Basic Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
1 pound ball fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Preheat the oven to 350º F. Wash and towel dry the eggplant. Slice the eggplant horizontally about 1/4-inch thick. Place the slices in a large colander, sprinkle with salt and set aside to rest about 30 minutes. Drain and rinse the eggplant and dry on towels.

In a saute pan, heat the extra-virgin olive oil until just smoking. Press the drained eggplant pieces into the seasoned bread crumb mixture and saute until light golden brown on both sides. Repeat with all of the pieces. On a cookie sheet lay out the 4 largest pieces of eggplant. Place 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce over each piece and place a thin slice of mozzarella on top of each. Sprinkle with Parmigiano and top each with the next smallest piece of eggplant, then sauce then mozzarella. Repeat the layering process until all the ingredients have been used, finishing again with the Parmigiano. Place the pan in the oven and bake until the top of each little stack is golden brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes.

Basic Tomato Sauce:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 Spanish onion, chopped into 1/4-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/2 medium carrot, finely shredded
2 (28-ounce) cans peeled whole tomatoes
Salt

In a 3-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft and light golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the thyme and carrot and cook 5 minutes more, until the carrot is quite soft. Add the tomatoes and juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. Season with salt and serve.

This sauce holds 1 week in the refrigerator or up to 6 months in the freezer.
