    Gordon Ramsey's version of Baba Ganoush

    Also eggplant is my favorite fried food, use panko and make sure the oil is 360. So reasonable in calories that it is actually easy to work in my lifestyle.

    Imam Bayidi although it would probably be worth cutting back on the olive oil :-)

    Aargh so many of the best aubergine recipes are so full of oil... :(

    I love melanzane parmigiana - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3091674/melanzane-parmigiana

    Berenjenas fritas con miel is a great Spanish tapas dish - slice aubergines into chips/fries, soak in beer for a few minutes, then dip in seasoned flour and deep fry, drizzle with honey. Amazing but not exactly a healthy option...

    Ratatouille is always good and a healthy option.

    I sometimes add them to vegetable or chicken curries - works well in thai red or green curry.

    ALSO::

    Cut in half longways
    Scrape out a strip of the "meat"
    Fill the carved strip with canned mushrooms, stewed tomatoes, grilled chicken, canned chickpeas, corn or whatever else you have lying around
    Bake until it's all soft and kind of squishy ---(i know im so technical lol)
    Sprinkle mozzarella on at the end and broil for about 2 minutes

    This is great for parties because you can slice it up and serve it with mini toasts or pull apart sourdough.


    This is amazing! I make my eggplant very similar and it comes out delicious every time!
