Eggplant

What is your favorite, simple thing to do with eggplant? I have a little one and I think it is going bad! I have heard of making "bacon" but I don't have oils or anything. Is there some sort of dip or pate sort of thing? or well I have no idea, lol. all ideas are appreciated :) thanks!

Today I went to the ONLY raw restaurant in Thailand and I had eggplant lasagana. It was thinly sliced eggplant with a layer of a creamy tomato salsa-esque sauce topped with mock guac. yummy. :cool:

Alissa has a recipe for eggplant pizza. The book is downstairs, but you could make a pesto sauce or a marinara with some nut cheese and dehydrate. We made it once, according to her recipe, and it was SOOOOOOO good. We loved it. I just bought some more to make it again.

thanks for the ideas. I have some pine nuts...so I'll blend some up with a bit of water...slice the eggplant, and add some fresh tomatoes and basil on top. sounds good to me but who knows. Normally I can't tolerate a lot of stuff mixed together...I have definately become more of a mono eater...but since we have absolutely NO other raw food in the house and wont be going shopping until tonight, I'll have to try this.

thanks :)

You can also slice eggplant very thinly, soak in salt water, and use as ravioli "pasta". It is particularly good with a macadamia (or cashew) cream filling made with garlic, lemon and thyme, and a red bell pepper marinara. Yum!

I made a pizza sauce put on the sliced eggplant dehydrated for quite awhile till warm softer, (you can use low temp oven or the sun) and that was yummy too.
