Any one know what to do with egg plant?
You can use it instead of pasta in lasagne. Brush with oil and bake. Mostly quite bland.

Or in addition to the noodles, with mushroom and onions.

Eggplant parmisiana.

Blanch and freeze.

White eggplant is good simply lightly fried and salted.

Can you tell I had a bumper crop last year?

Jamie Oliver pickles them.
If you add them to other dishes early in the cooking process, it makes the whole dish taste creamy - I did it with a chicken dish once.

A Bolivian man once made eggplant for me, too.... he cut slits in it, from tip to base so it was like castanets, and then put slices of cheese in the slits, and roasted it. With a dash of garlic, it's delicious.
