baba ganoush

No it is spelled Baba Ganouche. Store bought stuff is gross, but freshly made stuff is good.

 

no, no, no ... it's baba ganouj

i think you can make mr potato head into a person of colour by putting the plastic parts onto an eggplant

Correctamundo on the roasting versus slicing and soaking of the eggplant for the Baba.

 

Incorrectamundo on the notion of soaking in salt water overnight. Why on earth would you do that? Ditto that on my personal thoughts on bolting.

I'm down with the aubergine moussaka (memories of good Turkish food, yum.)

 

Actually a favorite is Japanese eggplant grilled on the BBQ. This is a good side dish if you're grilling other stuff. Slice eggplant in half lengthwise, brush with oil and crushed garlic. Grill in little foil boats on the top rack of the BBQ for a long time (45 mins or more.) When all your other food on the grill is done, pull the wilted eggplant boats. Splash about with a mixture of soy sauce, grated ginger, crushed garlic and sugar (about a 1:1 mixture of soy to sugar, garlic and ginger to taste.)

My thoughts on eggplant -

 

Take one eggplant, walk out on deck, throw as far into the water as possible.

 

End of story.
