EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) IN HOT SAUCE

• NOTE if using American Eggplant, use baby eggplant and it should be peeled. Slice the same way.
• Heat saute pan over high heat with some broth then add ginger, garlic and eggplant slices; stir fry until eggplant becomes thoroughly soft. [note to save time you can nuke the eggplant slices until almost done]. Note if you decide to nuke it or bake it a bit first sprinkle with the szechaun pepper in this step instead of adding it to the next step.
• Add bean sauce, szechaun pepper, Braggs or soy sauce, vegetable broth and sesame oil stirring for 1 minutes over high heat.
• Add black pepper, vinegar and green onion; stir until hot and blended.
• Serve garnished with parsley. You may serve over rice.
• Note: The vegetable broth was a medium one. Not too light nor overly rich. However the recipe seems that it would allow you to try either one in place of the medium broth. I will give it a shot when I have some made up for that.

HERB AND GARLIC GRILLED EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)

Steps:

• Marinating the Eggplant:.
• Lightly brush both sides of each eggplant slice with oil. Blend together the garlic, parsley, basil and pepper. Spread a little of the herb blend over each slice. Lay the slice side by side on a large platter, stacking them if necessary. Lightly cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature 2 to 4 hours.
• Cooking Eggplant on an Outdoor Grill:
• Burn down a charcoal fire (using real wood charcoal briquets if possible), until a white ash has formed on the briquets. Heat should be moderate. Sprinkle the slices with salt. Grill the undrained eggplant slices about 10 minutes, turning once, or until deep golden brown on each side and soft when pierced with a knife. Spoon any seasonings left on the platter over each slice after turning. Transfer the finished slices to a platter and serve.
• Cooking Eggplant Inside:.
• Grill undrained slices over medium heat on a gridded skillet or stove-top grill, until deep, golden brown on each side.
• Spread any seasonings left on the platter over each slice before turning. Do this in several batches unless your cooking surface is large enough to hold all the slices in a single layer. Or you may preheat broiler, placing eggplant about 4" from the flame. Spread any leftover marinade over the slices, and have them in a single layer. Broil slowly until slices are deep golden brown on each side, and eggplant is soft when pierced.
• Serve as a first course or main dish after topping the warm slices with long furls of Parmigiano-Reggiano or sheep cheese carved with a vegetable peeler. Enjoy!
