Flavour pairings
- Miso, soy sauce and ginger
- Tahini, garlic and lemon
- Tomato, basil and mozzarella
- Cumin, smoked paprika and pomegranate
Preparation
- Cut into rounds, wedges or halves and score the flesh so heat and seasoning get in.
- It absorbs oil quickly, so brush rather than pour, and cook until fully soft and golden. Salting is optional with most modern varieties.
Storage
- Store whole in a cool spot or the fridge and use within about 5 days; the skin dulls and wrinkles with age.
Substitutions
- Zucchini or thick mushroom slices can replace eggplant in grilled and baked recipes, with shorter cooking.
