Answer 2

eggplants freeze well but they need to be blanched .....1 gallon water...1/2 C lemon juice...peel and slice (about 1/2 inch thick) eggplant....

bring water to a full boil and add eggplant and time 4 mins....remove to ice bath then drain well (3 mins) ...freeze in zip locks making sure to remove as much air as you can ...use a straw to suck out the air if need be.

Answer 5

Lasagna using the sliced eggplant instead of pasta noodles, is wonderful.

Breaded and butter fried slices is also soo good.

Stir frys, or in anything that you would use zuchinni in as they are rather 'bland' veg as well.  I've never tried eggplant chocolate cake or bread....never had that many to use up-but why not try?

Answer 8

I love eggplant. Try grilling it. When my husband does it, he slices it, brushes it lightly with olive oil, seasons with a little Mrs. Dash Original, and throws it on the grill. It's delicious.

You can also add it to pasta. I like to cook linguine, toss it in garlic butter, and add diced up tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini.
