What do I do with eggplant?

You shove it up your femboy butt.

Don't you get bored posting the same lame ass threads every day?

I feel like slow boards have become a den of schizos, cesspools with a lot of traffic are unironically better these days. At least these types of people get drowned out, and a couple redittors can't just pollute half the catalog with their vegan shit whenever they feel like it

true. schizos target these smaller boards because they can easily dominate the discussion (because they're online 24/7) and it makes them feel like they have some power in their life. /ck/ is still a little bit better than some other boards like /vp/ which is just a total shitshow. but it's slowly succumbing to the rot.

What the fuck is wrong with you people? I have 1.5 eggplants I need to cook, stop being freaks and drop some recipes.

I told you to shove it up your femboy ass.

You kept a tab open for 45 minutes to say that?

My own bullshit version of a famous Chinese eggplant dish:

Peel your eggplant if you want, then cut your eggplant into whatever shape you like; I prefer batons a few inches long by a couple centimeters thick. Salt them and leave them to dry brine for about a half hour. Rinse and dry.

You need to parcook your eggplant to prep it for stir frying. You can steam it for a healthier version, or deep fry it for even more flavor. I usually steam mine.

Now get yourself some soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, Chinese bean paste (black bean, spicy, whichever you can find), sugar, and some Chinese cooking wine. Mix all that together in whatever ratio you like the taste of. Adjust the thickness with water. This will be your stir-fry sauce.

Gather whatever other meat or veggies you want to include in your eggplant (I like shiitake mushrooms and minced pork) and prep it for stir frying if you have to.

Grab plenty of garlic along with some ginger and chili pepper, and chop them up real good.

Get a cornstarch slurry made and get out your sesame oil to finish the dish with before you start stir frying.

Start building your stir fry using the cooking fat of your choice; I like using either bacon grease or lard. Over medium-high heat, start with the garlic, ginger, and chili. Add in any meat you might be adding and get it cooked most of the way through. Add your non-eggplant vegetables in and get those fried up a bit.

Finally, add your parcooked eggplant, stir well, and add in your sauce. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and add the slurry. Cook for a minute or two until the sauce has thickened. Splash a bit of sesame oil on top for aroma and shinyness. Serve hot with rice or noodles.

I have red miso on hand. Might have to improvise with some of the other ingredients but it sounds really good.

use it as compost for a better vegetable

Slice it in roundels, put it on a kebab skewer with sliced onion and pepper, drizzle the whole thing with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper & hot paprika and then throw it on the BBQ once you finish cooking a good steak

During the COVID lockdown, there was a Twitter/Instagram meme called "eggplant friday" where famous chefs were posting new eggplant-based dishes with full recipes every Friday, hashtag #eggplantfriday. To easily find them now, just do an image search for "eggplant friday". OP's mouth will start watering!

Moussaka, you can use both potatoes and aubergine if you prefer

Ratatouille

>>21468273 (OP)
Make them into stews like mualle, or make fish fried aubergines.
Or that one middle eastern recipe with the weird name (the imam fainted or something like that)
