the lasagne sounds nice
Can you do breadcrumbs?
maybe a lightly breadcrumbed pan fried eggplant?

How about tofu? It's a great source of protein and the silken ones are really yummy?

hrmmm ahvnt thought of that.

pink palace i have egg plant and bread crumbs what do i do with it? what goes with it?


the lasagna went down well after the first bite that was hard, tasted weird but then all was good.

[PinkPalace]

1/2 cup (125ml) olive oil
4 small Lebanese eggplant, trimmed, sliced 5mm thick lengthways
Plain flour, to dust
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Milk, to coat
Purchased breadcrumbs, to coat
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil


Heat 2 tbs olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the eggplant and cook, turning often, for 4 minutes or until light golden. Set aside to cool completely. Discard the oil.
Season the flour with salt and pepper. Coat the eggplant in the flour and shake off any excess. Dip into the milk and then into the breadcrumbs to fully coat.
Heat the remaining olive oil in the frying pan. Heat over a medium heat. Cook the eggplant for 1-2 minutes each side just until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain

or you can deep fry it?

Hi there,

I know someone else already mentioned it but have u tried Salada's or Sao's?

I'm going through a similar situation atm - I'm hungry but even the thought of alot of food makes me sick, whenever I do eat it sits on my stomach and makes me feels so sick that i usually go to bed at nite just so i can fall asleep n that horrible feeling is gone.

I find that the bit of salt on the Salada's is good.

Hope it helps. =)

i dont serve it with any sauces when we eat it.
the salt bascially helps to absorb some of the moisture.
It is amazing the amount of moisture an eggplant has.
BUt if you panfry it for a while you will see the moisture out - and then you will be able to salt as you go to help
