Eggplant.

A lot of people seem to despise the stuff, really.
It has to be my favorite meat-replacement on earth though.

Anyway

Eggplant recipes a-go!

Eggplant Stew

Ingredients:

1 eggplant (1 and 1/2 pounds), cut in 2 inch cubes (approximately) Peeled or unpeeler... doesn't matter
3-4 zucchini, sliced
2-3 summer squash, sliced
sliced mushrooms (8 oz.) (I don't use them, I detest mushrooms, but it's in the recipe)
garlic crushed ( 1 teaspoon)
1 large onion, chopped
1 can of diced tomatoes (15 oz.)
olive oil (1 tablespoon)
1 can of chickpeas
salt
pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of Szechuan sauce or chili powder if desired

Directions:
In a large pot (about 10-12 quarts) add olive oil, garlic and onion. Cover and cook under medium flame about 5-10 minutes, then add mushrooms. Continue cooking, 5-10 minutes, and add tomatoes.
When the mixture begins to bubble add eggplant, reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes, then add the zucchini and the squash. Continue cooking for approximately 30 minutes longer until all the vegetables are tender. Add chickpeas and spices.

This is like 8 servings, in one go.

I've hated eggplant ever since Kid Icarus.

My dad cringes at the word eggplant.
But his mom used to make some horrible eggplant things.
If it's made right,
it can be the greatest.
I am really, really picky about vegetables I'll eat
but this one is tops.

Things is, every single time I buy it,
I have to reenact that scene in coneheads

Vassal-state.

I must confess, I'm not sure I've EVER had eggplant.

Wait, I had some roasted eggplant hummus a few years back. It was pretty good.

Think that might be it though.

I've been guilty of the occasional baba ganoush, but other than that I hate the stuff.

Ruby Juice · Post by **Ruby Juice** » 30 Oct 2006, 23:34

I am so digusted right now.

eggplants a fruit

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » 30 Oct 2006, 23:53

As far as actual biological science is concerned, everything is a fruit.

Rick Cave · Post by **Rick Cave** » 30 Oct 2006, 23:58

Stop coming on to Roark.

Roark · Post by **Roark** » 31 Oct 2006, 00:32

Whoo hoo!! I feel inspired to write a poem in Jeff's honour.

Babaganoush is king. I'll fight any idiot who says otherwise.

Yeah, that was a bitch!

Anyway, I love eggplant, or Aubergine as we call them here. Can't get the fact that shaina hates them though, to me they seem quite similar to mushroom.

You're wrong.
and your opinions on food don't count if you enjoy ramen...

I mean, just in case you do.
