Deep purple or creamy white, eggplant has a hearty, meaty texture and a neutral taste that readily absorbs the flavors of whatever ingredients are cooking along with it. Eggplant marries particularly well with strong flavors, such as garlic, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Be sure to purchase plump, shiny, unblemished eggplants that feel heavy for their size; light ones may be spongy.

  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 3 Garlic Cloves Sliced
  • 1/4 Cup Minced Fresh Italian Parsley
  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 4 Small Eggplants (12 Ounces Each)
  • 1/4 Cup Grated Mozzarella

  2. In small-size saucepan heat olive oil over a medium heat. Add garlic slices and cook until lightly browned. Stir occasionally. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in minced parsley, kosher salt and pepper.
