EGGPLANT WITH HERBS AND YOGURT
Martha prefers cooking with smaller eggplants -- they're sweeter, have fewer seeds, and don't have to be salted before cooking. Here, they're topped with yogurt, a spicy herb sauce, and a colorful garnish.

Steps:
- Heat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat 2 inches safflower oil to 360 degrees. Working in batches, add eggplant and cook, turning once, until golden brown and very tender, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer eggplant to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and let drain.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine parsley, cilantro, turmeric, garlic, chile, and olive oil. Season with salt, then blend until finely chopped. Place eggplants cut-side up on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Brush with herb mixture and broil until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine yogurt and lime zest and season with salt.
- Serve eggplants garnished with yogurt mixture, sliced chile, lime wedges, sesame seeds, and pomegranate seeds.
SILKY EGGPLANT WITH ALMOND SALSA AND YOGURT
Eggplant that's silky-soft and bubbly-brown all over (rather than tough, oily or fossil-like) is a revelation - and, with just a little maneuvering, it's not that hard. You'll want to sear the eggplant slices in hot oil, cover them for a minute or two, until they're soft, and then add a touch more oil until they're beautifully golden. You could, of course, eat these rounds on their own (and you might!), but spicy almond salsa, cubes of salty, crispy halloumi, and a bed of garlicky yogurt make them a full meal (especially if have warmed pita for swiping everything up). While salting the eggplant slices before you cook isn't completely necessary, it will help draw out some of the vegetable's moisture, making it less prone to bitterness and oil saturation.

Steps:
- Line a colander with paper towels or a clean dishcloth. Slice the eggplant into 3/4- to 1-inch rounds, place in the colander and sprinkle with salt. Set aside for 20 to 30 minutes, until water beads on top of the eggplant.
- Meanwhile, make the yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the lemon juice, smashed garlic clove, 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the torn mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
- In a heavy pan with high sides over medium heat, toast the chopped almonds until golden brown and fragrant, 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Remove pan from the heat and transfer nuts to a medium bowl, then add the red-wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic clove and Fresno pepper. Mix and season with salt to taste.
- Set up a plate or cutting board lined with paper towels next to the stove. Wipe out the pan you were working with and heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Blot the moisture from the eggplant, and when the oil is hot, add the slices in a single layer (you'll probably have to work in batches). Cook until brown, then flip, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. While browning, as the eggplant is getting dry, add 1 to 2 teaspoons of olive oil and cover the pan for 1 to 2 minutes. The eggplant will be fork-tender and golden brown on both sides when finished. Transfer to the paper towel-lined surface and sprinkle with salt.
- When you've finished cooking the eggplant, add the cubed cheese to the hot pan, leaving any residual oil (add a teaspoon of olive oil if there's not enough left in the pan). Sauté, stirring frequently, until brown and crisp all over. Remove pan from the heat.
- Spread the yogurt on a platter. Arrange the eggplant and halloumi on top, then scatter with almond salsa. Garnish with remaining torn mint, then sprinkle with any leftover lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Serve with pita.

YOTAM OTTOLENGHI'S CHERMOULA EGGPLANT WITH BULGUR AND YOGURT
A mixture of herbs and spices used in North African cooking, chermoula is often used to season fish. In this recipe from "Jerusalem," the famed Middle Eastern cookbook by Yotam Ottolenghi, it is rubbed over eggplant, which is then roasted and topped with a tabbouleh-like salad.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- To make the chermoula, mix together in a small bowl the garlic, cumin, coriander, chili, paprika, preserved lemon, two-thirds of the olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise. Score the flesh of each half with deep, diagonal crisscross cuts, making sure not to pierce the skin. Spoon the chermoula over each half, spreading it evenly, and place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Put in the oven and roast for 40 minutes, or until the eggplants are completely soft.
- Meanwhile, place the bulgur in a large bowl and cover with the boiling water.
- Soak the raisins in the warm water. After 10 minutes, drain the raisins and add them to the bulgur, along with the remaining oil. Add the herbs, olives, almonds, green onions, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and stir to combine. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
- Serve the eggplants warm or at room temperature. Place 1/2 eggplant, cut side up, on each individual plate. Spoon the bulgur on top, allowing some to fall from both sides. Spoon over some yogurt, sprinkle with cilantro and finish with a drizzle of oil.

Steps:
- Using tongs, cook eggplants one at a time over the flame of a gas burner (or a grill), turning as skin chars and bubbles, until completely soft, about 15 minutes. (If eggplant doesn't soften, finish cooking on a baking sheet in a 375-degree oven.) Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Peel off charred skin and discard. Coarsely chop the eggplants, and place in a colander to drain, about 1 hour. Finely chop, and transfer to a bowl.
- Using a chef's knife, press flat side of blade back and forth across garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt to make a paste. Mix into eggplant. Stir in oil. Mix in yogurt and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. (Dip can be refrigerated, for up to 1 day.) Drizzle with oil before serving.

- Place the eggplant in a colander and sprinkle with about a tablespoon coarse salt and let it sit for 30 minutes to remove bitterness. Rinse with plenty of water and squeeze to get the water out. Dry on a towel.
- Place eggplant in a bowl, drizzle with 1/3 cup olive oil, mix well so that all eggplant is covered with olive oil. Empty contents in ovenproof casserole dish so that eggplant is fairly close together but still in one layer, add about ¼ cup of warm water in the corner of the casserole dish and tilt it so it spreads throughout (do not pour water over eggplant as this will rinse the olive oil). Cover with aluminum foil and roast for 10 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 F (180 C) and continue to roast until eggplant is soft (about 15 more minutes). Add additional hot water 2 tablespoons at a time, if they are drying out.
- Meanwhile in a pan sauté the onions with the olive oil for about 4 minutes until soft, add garlic and sauté for another minute, add tomato, sugar, parsley pepper, salt (as needed) and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

- Use a fork to poke holes on eggplants. 6-7 holes on each eggplant should be fine. Place them on sheet pan and roast for 40-45 minutes, turning them after the first 20 minutes to ensure even roasting. Take them out of the oven and set aside to cool.
- In the mean time, place yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined. Cover it with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
- When eggplants are cool enough to handle, cut them diagonally. Using a dinner spoon, scoop the flesh out (if it is still too hot you can do this under cold running water) and place it in a large bowl.
