Peel sometimes or not.

Favorite dishes - eggplant parm, ratatouille, eggplant terrine, and I know I would like it prepared Indian(Asian) style. There must be others I'm forgetting.

I make an eggplant parm w no sauce subbing in home grown tomatoe slices, fresh basil, w parm/mozz melted and browned on top.

I do like eggplant. I'd take the skin off but I have never cooked it myself.

Love eggplant

Leave the skin on

Cut it in round slices, cover with tempura sauce, and fry in a frying pan on the stove.

Aubergine..is what it's called here. I love it, have it in Moussaka.. and cook it like this

I cut it the other way, it's more efficient to cook a bunch of it.

That would be a different recipe for me. This is our local Asian way of preparing it. Not that your way wouldn't work, but l would worry the pieces being too thick for the way we like it.

If it’s young and tender I don’t peel it. If the skin is tough I peel alternate strips or stripes leaving half the skin.

I usually oven bake breaded rounds for a Parmesan style dish or scoop out the insides and cook that with ground beef and other odds and ends to make a stuffed eggplant.

My favorite easy inexpensive method for one is Michael Angelo’s.

I love eggplant parmesan but nothing else.

 

[RadishRose]

Love eggplant! (melanzane in Italian, batinjan in Arabic)

Melanzane alla Parmigiana
Ratatouille
Moussaka
Baba Ganoush
Batinjan mahshi (stuffed)

Skin on for parm and stuffed, off for the rest.
Charring the skin before scooping out the softened flesh is needed for baba ganoush (dip).

I made Moussaka once. It is so labor intensive, I'd rather have it out.

Some people slice eggplants lengthwise and flour first for parm. Others cut rounds and coat with breadcrumbs.

Very few foods I haven’t tried, but eggplant is one of them.

 

[MountainRa]

I like it but have never been good at cooking it.

 

[Aneeda72]

Nope. Took a little bite on day to try it, and almost died. Highly, instantly, allergic.

 

[Llynn]

No

 

[mrstime]

I liked it when I was a kid. My grandma sliced it , dredged it in something,and fried it. I tried that after I was married and it was awful!

 

[PeppermintPatty]

I love eggplant in moussaka and eggplant Parmesan but I’ve never made them myself. When I was younger I used to order them from a fantastic Greek restaurant.

 

[Jules]

No.

My husband likes it and usually orders in Moussaka in a Greek restaurant.

I bought a bag of frozen rounds that I probably didn’t choose a good method of cooking. He ate it but did say it wasn’t his favourite. Translate that as ‘it was awful’; he never complains.

 

[Paladin1950]

No never eat it. But I used to listen to it.

I'm one of the very few that bought this album back in 1967.

[RadishRose]

OMG, I remember that! Good find, Paladin!

 

[CinnamonSugar]

I feel about eggplant the way @hollydolly feels about peanut butter! ::Shudder::

 

[dilettante]

Peel and cut into thick slices. Dispose of properly.

 

[DebraMae]

I like it but have never tried cooking it. Time for me to learn something new!

it's actually delicious as long as it's cooked properly.. if you've ever had Greek Mousska Pappy, you will almost certainnly have eaten Aubergine ( eggplant)
