I have so much eggplant coming out of my garden right now, I can hardly keep up! I love baba ghanoush, but I am looking for other recipes besides. I have roasted about a million pounds of it to have baba ghanoush throughout the fall & winter, but need other ideas because my freezer if filling up FAST! Also, keep in mind I do NOT like the texture of eggplant when cooked, the sogginess grosses me out :noway: Any suggestions other than fried?

    Hi I did not like eggplant much, until I saw this recipe and was looking for some meatless meals. This version of eggplant parmigiana does not require crumbing and cooking the eggplant first, so it is a much healthier version and I love it. I use a good amount of garlic and herbs in the passata. It freezes well too, and is a lovely meal served with crusty bread. Sandy.
    Here is the link. I do hope you like it.

    Grill slices on the bbq.you cqn do them plain or with a drizzle of olive oil and steak spice. They taste sweet and you can get beautiful grill lines across too.

    I make a vegetable lasagna with roasted zucchini, eggplant, onions, and peppers. After I roast the veggies I layer them with the lasagna noodles, marinara sauce, and a mixture of egg and ricotta cheese. I top it off with some mozarella and parmesan cheese. This dish also freezes well.

    Thin slices in place of pizza crust, works great and not soggy.

    ^^ My fave fave FAVE!!! Look up any Indian "brinjal" curry..... you can use bigger eggplant for this recipe, just cut one whole one into discs and "stuff" the discs....

    Great ideas! I am especially digging the lasagna and the curry, the latter of which would involve a trip to the store for some of those ingredients! Not even sure what they are, LOL, but certainly eager to find out!
