Eggplant Omelet With Coriander And Caraway Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Lay the eggplants in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil them, flipping once or twice, until they are soft and blackened on all sides, about 15 minutes. (If you have a gas stove, you can do this by holding the eggplants with tongs over a burner on medium-high heat, turning them so they blacken on all sides.)
• Place the softened eggplants in a ziplock bag. Set aside for 10 minutes to steam (this makes the skin easier to peel). Peel the eggplants, discarding the skins, and use a fork to gently flatten the flesh.
• Put the eggs in a shallow bowl. Beat well and season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Dip each eggplant in the beaten eggs, letting it soak for a second or two so that it is well covered with the egg. Season the egg-dipped eggplant with additional salt and pepper and place it in the skillet. Repeat with the other eggplant, making sure there's room between them in the skillet. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab (if using) on top of each eggplant, pressing it down with a fork.
• When the eggplants are crispy and browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes, flip them over and cook until browned and crispy on the second side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the eggplants to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Serve hot or at room temperature, with fish sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Pierce eggplants all over with fork. Place eggplants in baking pan. Broil eggplants until skins blacken and flesh feels very soft to touch, turning occasionally, about 25 minutes. Cool eggplants; stem and peel. Transfer eggplants to colander and let drain 30 minutes, turning occasionally and pressing with spoon to extract liquid. Transfer eggplants to bowl; mash.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add onions; sauté until golden, about 20 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 4 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk eggs in large bowl to blend. Mix in mashed eggplant, onion mixture, chopped parsley, caraway, coriander, salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in large broilerproof nonstick skillet over very low heat. Add egg mixture, cover and cook until omelet is almost set, about 15 minutes. Uncover skillet and place under broiler until top is set and pale golden, about 5 minutes. Using rubber spatula, loosen omelet and slide out onto plate. Garnish with lemon wedges. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Peel eggplant; halve it lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/2 inch slices, then cut slices into 1/2 inch strips. You should have about 4 cups of eggplant.
• In a covered saucepan cook eggplant and onion in a small amount of boiling salted water about 5 minutes or just till tender; drain well. Pat any excess water off the vegetables with paper towels.
• In a 10 inch oven-going skillet cook beef or lamb and garlic till meat is brown; drain off the fat. Stir in eggplant mixture; spread on the bottom of the skillet.
• Combine eggs, parsley, coriander, salt, cumin, and pepper. Whisk until well combined. Carefully pour over meat and vegetable mixture. Cook over medium heat. As eggs set, run a spatula around the edge of the skillet, lifting the eggs to allow uncooked portion to flow underneath. Continue cooking and lifting until mixture is almost set. (about 10 minutes).
• Place under the broiler about 5 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or till set and golden.

Steps:

• Dice the eggplant into small pieces.
• Heat the olive oil in a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Saute the eggplant pieces until they start to brown slightly. Add the onion and continue sauteeing until the eggplant is tender and the onion is translucent. Add the tomato and saute until the tomato is heated through.
• Add 2 eggs per serving and scramble with the vegetable mixture until well blended and the egg is cooked to your prefered level of done.
• If you prefer, make an omelet with the eggs and fill it with the vegetable mixture before folding.
• Season with seasoned salt and/or pepper to taste.
