Eggplant With Vinegar And Garlic Recipes

FIRE ROASTED EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the eggplant(s) on a grill over high heat or cook directly on a gas burner turned to medium-high (*Footnote 2). Turn the eggplant from time to time using a pair of tongs, every 30 seconds or so, to char on all sides. When the eggplant is done, the skin will typically have turned darker purple or even black, and it will puff up and then collapse a bit. To test the doneness, gently squeeze it using your tongs to make sure it's soft throughout. Transfer the cooked eggplant to a large plate and let it cool enough to handle. Gently peel the eggplant and discard the skin. If there's little flecks of burned skin left here and there, that's fine.
• Whisk the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
• (Optional) If serving with noodles, boil the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• To serve, pour half of the sauce onto the eggplant and serve it with the rest of the sauce on the side. Place the eggplant onto the noodles (if using) and pour on more sauce if needed. Enjoy warm or at room temperature as a cold dish.

MARINATED EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel eggplant and cut into 3 x 1/2-inch rectangular sticks.
• To sweat the eggplants, toss the sticks with salt and place them in a colander over a bowl or sink. Let sit to drain for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. (If overnight, cover and keep the colander and bowl in the fridge.)
• Squeeze out as much of the remaining liquid from the eggplant sticks as possible by placing them in a clean kitchen towel and pressing vigorously over a bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, bring water and vinegar to a boil. Add eggplant and cook until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Drain eggplant in a colander, set a plate on top to weigh it down, and let drain for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. (Again, if overnight, cover and chill like you did when sweating the eggplant sticks.)
• Vigorously squeeze small handfuls of the eggplant with the help of a clean kitchen towel and remove as much liquid as possible.
• In a large bowl, toss eggplant with garlic, chile flakes, any herbs, if using, and 3/4 cup of the olive oil.
• Transfer eggplant to a 1-quart jar, add enough olive oil to cover the eggplant, cover with a lid, and chill overnight before serving. When ready to serve, bring to room temperature before serving; any leftover marinated eggplant will last up to one week refrigerated.

GRILLED EGGPLANT WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR RELISH

Steps:

• Place sliced eggplant in a colander in the sink. Sprinkle eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to release any bitter juices. Rinse with cold water and dry on paper towels.
• Heat a grill pan to high heat. Place 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl. Brush eggplant lightly with olive oil and grill for 2 minutes, pressing down occasionally with a spatula. Turn each slice, without flipping, and continue grilling for 2 more minutes to form beautiful grill marks. Flip eggplant and repeat this process on the other side. Remove grilled eggplant to a serving platter.
• Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add tomato and mix well. Pour over the grilled eggplant.

SWEET AND SOUR EGGPLANT WITH GARLIC CHIPS

Steps:

• Set a small sieve over a heatproof bowl. Combine garlic and oil in a medium skillet and heat over medium-low. Cook garlic until light golden brown and crisp and the bubbles have subsided, 3 to 4 minutes, then quickly strain the garlic chips into the sieve set over the bowl. Transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel-lined plate, season with kosher salt and set aside. Transfer the garlic oil back to the skillet.
• Heat the garlic oil over medium-high. Add the eggplant in batches, adding more as they shrink in size and space permits, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cut sides of eggplant are golden-brown and skins are slightly wrinkled, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and red-pepper flakes and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, tossing the eggplant to coat, until sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve topped with fresh herbs and garlic chips.

• Remove the eggplant and reserve the sauce. Brush both sides of the slices with oil. Grill or broil until nicely browned and tender, about 5 minutes a side.
