We recently snagged some great eggplant at a local farm for 3 for $1! I have frozen some, made baby food, served my family 2 meals, and still have one eggplant hanging out in our refrigerator. Last night, I tried something that we have never had before and it turned out great!
Broiled Eggplant with Feta and Tomatoes
1 eggplant
4 tablespoons of sesame oil or vegetable oil
feta cheese
tomatoes
Coat a large baking dish with sesame oil. Slice eggplant 1/2 inch thick (peeling optional). Place eggplant in dish. Use remaining sesame oil to coat the top- best done with a pastry brush. Then, add tomato and feta as you like. Broil for 7-12 minutes. If eggplant is still too firm, but outside is brown... bake at 400 degrees until soft.
This was a yummy meal. I served it with couscos and I made an aioli sauce.
Aioli Sauce
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves
Mix ingredients together and refrigerate. Will keep about one week covered in the refrigerator.
Dessert was vanilla ice cream with peaches.
Cost of this whole meal was approx. $3.00 with a few leftovers is the fridge!
