Our Best Ideas for Eggplant
Whether you’ve noticed this plump purple fruit popping up at the grocery store or have been growing eggplant at home and are ready to harvest, the sight of it has probably made you think about a warm, cheesy eggplant Parmesan at least once. Us, too. But, eggplant is surprisingly versatile—and great in everything from pastas to gratins. Trying to eat more veggies? Make ratatouille. Looking for a light-yet-satisfying warm-weather dinner? Try eggplant crisp with a walnut “streusel”. The perfect side for any summer get-together? Pasta salad with roasted eggplant. With these recipes you’ll be able to turn your eggplant into a wide variety of delicious dishes, starting with this grilled one. We’ve topped the eggplant with feta (that’s been marinated in herbs and pepper flakes) for a nice, salty balance to the otherwise rich and smoky flavor.
