Eggplant Bharta

2 md Eggplants, halved
1/2 c Finely chopped onion
2 ea Green chilies, chopped
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 c Cilantro, chopped
1 tb Ghee
1/2 ts Oil



Rub the ghee over the cut side of the eggplant. Roast until the skin is lightly burned. The eggplant should be completely soft & tender. Peel & mash the pulp with a potato masher. Mix well with onion, chilis, salt, cilantro & oil. Fry in a skillet with a little oil for 3 to 5 minutes. The mixture should be fairly dry.

EGGPLANT BRUSCHETTA

2 T. salt
1 lb. eggplant
6 T. olive oil
8 slices Italian bread
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 C. finely chopped Italian parsley

Peel and slice eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Cut each round in half and sprinkle with salt. Place slices in a colander over a bowl or in a sink. Let eggplant sit until it begins to weep, about 1 hour. Using paper towels, press eggplant to release moisture. Wipe off moisture and salt from slices.

In a 10-inch saute pan, heat olive oil until smoking (1 to 2 minutes) over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until lightly browned and softened (5 to 6 minutes). Add garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add eggplant and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and soft (about 20 minutes) and resembles sauteed mushrooms. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper and allow to cool to room temperature. Stir in parsley.

Place bread slices on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Divide the eggplant mixture among the bread slices and serve.

Oven-Fried Eggplant

1/3 cup fine Italian-style dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 medium eggplant
1/4 cup Hellman's mayonnaise


In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, cheese, salt and black pepper. Peel eggplant; cut into 1/4-inch slices. Spread both sides of eggplant slices with mayonnaise. Dredge in bread-crumb mixture. Place on lightly greased baking sheet (use Reynolds Wrap's new Release, and no grease is necessary). Bake at 400 degrees, uncovered, 10 to 12 minutes or until browned. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
