SPICED BABY EGGPLANTS RECIPE | BON APPÉTIT



Spiced Baby Eggplants Recipe | Bon Appétit image

The farmers’ market in high summer is the best bet for finding the small, inky-purple, round eggplants used in this recipe. They may be labeled Japanese, Indian, Italian—or simply “baby.” If you have an Asian grocer near you, try that. Alternately, use another small, purple- or lilac-colored type.

Provided by Andy Baraghani

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
5 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder or sweet smoked paprika, plus more for serving
1½ pounds Indian eggplants (about 12)
Kosher salt
Raita and coarsely chopped cilantro (for serving)

Steps:

  • Mix ginger, garlic, coriander, cumin, turmeric, 2 Tbsp. oil, and 1 tsp. chili powder in a small bowl.
  • Quarter eggplants lengthwise through rounded bottom, stopping ½" short of the stem. Gently pry quarters open without detaching flesh from stem; season with salt. Spoon spice mix into each eggplant, making sure inside flesh is coated.
  • Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-high. Cook eggplants in a single layer, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over, 8–10 minutes total. Reduce heat to low and add ¼ cup water. Cover and cook, turning eggplants halfway through, until tender, 12–16 minutes.
  • Spoon raita on a platter. Arrange eggplants over, then top with cilantro. Sprinkle with more chili powder and drizzle with oil.

ROASTED BABY EGGPLANT, TOMATO, AND ZUCCHINI RECIPE ...



Roasted Baby Eggplant, Tomato, and Zucchini Recipe ... image

I made this up last night looking for something to do with a bag of beautiful baby eggplants I got. They were purple eggplants, but smallish. They were nice because they did not have a lot of seeds. I did not seed the tomatoes and they were just fine. This is ridiculously good. Way beyond the effort it takes to make it. Tastes nice warm or cool.
