Aside from Eggplant Parm, this is my favorite eggplant recipe:

Roasted Eggplant Dip
1 large eggplant, 1 14 oz can diced tomatoes, 1/2 c finely chopped green onion, 1/2 c freshly chopped parsley, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, lemon slices

Preheat oven to 375 and bake the eggplant whole for 1 hour or until tender, turning occasionally. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 mins. Cut eggplant in half lengthwise and remove pulp. Mash pulp with a fork and add the rest of the ingredients. Serve with pita and lemon slices.

I like eggplant sichuan style. Different kind of eggplant though

Neapolitan eggplant salad?
Slice eggplant super thin lengthways. You can use a veg peeler for this.
Now cook it. I put the slices into a grill basket and directly over fire.
Finally, marinate the slices in olive oil and vinegar with sliced garlic, fresh parlsey and salt (to taste) until cool.

Variations:
Fry the slices in olive oil rather than cooking them over open flame then dressing with oil. Once cooked, you can just remove them from the oil to kitchen paper and dress with garlic and vinegar just before serving.

Also common with zucchine, though with mint rather than parsley.

Another Neapolitan dish: eggplant balls. They're pretty good, too.

Slice into about 3/4 inch coins, salt heavily. Drain after half an hour, then fry in more oil than you think you'll need, in a heavy bottomed-pan, about half an inch. Cook, turn, until well-browned.
Serve with tabbuleh and hummus, or with tomato sauce in a sandwich

Chinese eggplant

Moussaka is GOAT. Make sure you let the eggplant slices rest in some salt for a while, though, or else you'll end up with a soggy mess.

>>8852277
Not sure if you're clueless or pretentious, but they're the same thing.

>>8852301
Whats the difference? The size?

You can fry eggplant in a saute pain with vegetable oil and some egg and breading...kinda like fried green tomatoes but eggplant.

Shit's delicious

>>8852834
Pretty much. Chinese eggplant has less eggplant flavor in my opinion but better texture

>>8849541
steam them halved and serve with sichuan sauce

>>8849541
OP, I would like you to disregard all recipes and pick this:

https://theottolenghiproject.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/roast-aubergine-with-saffron-yoghurt/

You need to turn them babapapas into babaganoush

>>8849541
>dust eggplant slices in flour and fry

>put eggplant in casserole
>cover with sour cream mixture

Quick and delicious.

>>8853116

>>8853117
thats not quick at all
I think he intended the dish as a nearly raw meal

make it into a spread, eat cold on rye bread, as a side with pan-fried potatoes or use the same spread as a pasta sauce

this isn't athe best recipe, but it'll give you an idea of what i'm talking about

Today I fried cubes of sweet potato, cubes of eggplant and mixed that with couscous, cucumber and black sesame seeds. Seasoning was salt, paprika and nori flakes. Was actually really good.

Be sure to start with the sweet potato so you won't overcook the eggplant.

simple floured in potato starch and fried, served agedashi

Karniyarik or imam bayildi are good choices, OP.

>>8855484
Forget the karniyarik, I forgot you said vegetarian.

Ratatouille is easy, delicious and vegetarian.
