EASY EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CASSEROLE



Easy Eggplant (Aubergine) Casserole image

The technique may seem a little strange here, but it is not unlike making a dressing or stuffing for poultry. The end result is a delicious vegetarian main dish for the fall. It has a rich taste and meaty texture; some of my vegetarian friends were very suspicious while eating it, but I wouldn't fool them!

MEDITERRANEAN EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) CASSEROLE



Mediterranean Eggplant (Aubergine) Casserole image

This eggplant dish is from the "1 of a Kind" cookbook of the Junior League of Mobile, AL. I have not made this yet, but I did modify the recipe & add 2 ingredients I thot were a must to make this a classic dish. Altho the ingredient list appears lengthy, 7 are of the spice variety & the rest are common ingredients w/an easy prep. My best advice is strongly resist any temptation to leave out the cinnamon. Enjoy!

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 medium eggplants (unpeeled & sliced in 1/4 in thick slices)
3/4 cup olive oil (more as required)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 cup celery (chopped)
1/2 cup green bell pepper (chopped)
1 cup fresh tomato (seeded & diced)
1/2 cup black olives (quartered or sliced)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 large eggs (beaten)
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons dry parmesan cheese (powder variety)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare onion, celery, green bell pepper, fresh tomato & black olives in stated quantity as directed & set aside.
  • Slice unpeeled eggplant into 1/4" thick slices. Put olive oil in a saute pan & cook eggplant slices (in batches) till just slightly tender. Remove from pan & set aside.
  • In the same pan, add onion, celery & bell pepper. Saute till crisp-tender.
  • Remove from heat & stir in chopped tomato, black olives, herbs & spices.
  • Place 1/3 of eggplant slices in a 9x13" baking dish. Top with 1/3 of veggie/spice mixture & repeat layering 2 more times. Bake 15 minutes.
  • While casserole is baking, beat eggs & set aside. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp olive oil & Parmesan cheese. Mix well & set aside.
  • At 15 minutes, remove casserole from oven. Drizzle beaten eggs over surface, let them seep into the veggie mixture & move veggies around gently using a fork to aid this process as required.
  • Sprinkle breadcrumb, olive oil & Parmesan cheese mixture evenly over surface & return to oven for 15 min or till breadcrumbs are golden brown. Serve immediately.
  • NOTE: While the recipe did not suggest this, IMO this dish is capable of being expanded to a 1-dish meal w/the addition of your cooked grd meat of choice &/or crumbled feta cheese as another option.

MOM'S EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) SABZI



Mom's Eggplant (Aubergine) Sabzi image

This is one of my favourite eggplant dishes. My mom made this but not too often since it does have a bit of oil. It is very easy to make too, so enjoy!

Categories     Asian

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups chopped eggplants (do not chop too small since they might become too mushy when cooked)
1 teaspoon mango powder (amchur)
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 teaspoon sambhar powder
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
2 -3 tablespoons coconut oil (or any other oil of choice)

Steps:

  • In a heavy- bottomed skillet, cook the eggplant in oil.
  • Stir every once a while so that the eggplant does not stick to the bottom of the skillet.
  • Once it is cooked, add the salt, amchur powder, sugar and sambar powder and switch off the heat.
  • Eggplant sabzi is ready!
  • Note: Stir after adding sugar, salt etc so that they don't stick to each other and clump together.
  • This goes very well with yoghurt rice or just mixed with rice and eaten as such.
  • Since this can be oily and spicy, I usually combine it with dal (which I make a bit bland to compensate) and eat with hot rotis.
