Cooking Eggplant

Eggplant could be chopped crosswise and stir fried. Eggplant could be chopped and added to soup.

But the best is coming from the grill--from a charcoal grill. Then you could fry it with eggs, or  make a salad with other vegetables, seasoned with vinegar and seasoned to taste.

But the dilemma is, how to grill an eggplant indoor? We have experimented for quite sometimes, and this is by far the best.

1. Grill the eggplant on top of your kitchen cooktop with a cast iron grill.

2. Place the eggplant on an aluminum tray or cast iron grill, and place it in the middle tier in the oven, and roast it for 30 minutes @ 450 deg F.

And don't forget: You need to prick the eggplant to avoid bursting, and, at least  turn them once for even cooking.
