Baked, deepfried, or BBQed?

I would love to grow eggplant but must admit I can't eat them. I would love to be able to see them mature on the vines though. I use to do a lot of gardening and many times would not eat them but enjoyed sharing them with all my neighbors. I use to supply the veggies after growing them for the barbeque and they supplied the meats, gosh it use to be so much fun, now I miss those days. My boyfriend likes the eggplants likes them on the grill too, and I use to also put some long stem onions to give it a robust flavor. He use to eat them up. lol

Dipped in a batter and fried in a frying pan....nice and brown and crispy on the outside.

I am not sure if I have ever tried eggplant or not. I know my family used to grow them though. I bet they are really good BBQ'ed.

grandpa bob hi I love eggplant fried and roasted and in ratatouille too'which is so good with tomatoes and onions and eggplant, just a real taste treat specially if you makeit from all fresh ingredients and cooked just till semi tender. but eggplant Parmesan that they serve' here is also good. I just like eggplant.

I love eggplant in Moussaka as well as fried (Mom always cut it into French fry strips before breading it). If it's cut thin, I like it grilled and on pizza. I also like it in Eggplant Parm. YUM!!! Getting hungry just thinking about it!!!

I´ve never had them barbequed, but after this post I will sure try them. But I make an awesome appetizer with diced eggplants, onions, oregano, annd garlic (all from the home veggies. You stir fry them in olive oil, add vinegar and after taking them out of the gas, add minced parsley. YUMMY!!!

I've only eaten eggplant once. And I don't remember how it tasted because it was so long ago. I remember I ate it so I know I liked it okay. My mom never cooked eggplant, and neither did anyone else in my family. I've seen it used in vegan recipes, so maybe I should try it. I would figure it tastes better without meat being in the dish.

Sprinkled with salt and pepper then fried in olive oil. I like to batter it then prepare the same way too. It's particularly nice when served with courgette (zucchini) cooked the same way.

I love eggplants cut and sliced into halves then fried in olive oil. I dip them in vinegar with diced garlic. It tastes really great especially when eaten with fried rice and dried fish. Look at the photo. This is a typical Filipino breakfast dish, dried fish, fried eggplants and okra. I just love to eat this kind of simple but very nutritious dish. I wish I can grow my own eggplants too.

That is a nice patch of eggplants you have there. I prepare several different varieties of curries with eggplants, but my favorite recipe is a very simple one, thick slices of eggplants rubbed with a mixture of red chilly powder, salt, a little lemon juice and left to rest for an hour or so. Then coat each slice with breadcrumbs thinly and shallow fry in oil or butter on low flame. It is very tasty and simple to prepare.
