      PS I used Manchego cheese, grating it over the honey. Yum! (I treat myself to a small wedge of Manchego a few times a year. Grating it extends the reach of its fabulous, complex flavour.)

    Here's a cook's tip for those who love eggplant recipes like this ... look at the bottom end - choose a round "navel" as opposed to a slot shape. They have fewer seeds. Said to be less bitter.

    • @debbiezullo7056
      @debbiezullo7056 2 года назад +1

      Jacques Pepin says the one with the round end is male, and one with more of a slit has more seeds it’s a female eggplant

    We had an eggplant and didn't want the same old thing. Made this for the family. Fairly easy, no fail recipe. Some eyebrows went up concerning the honey, but it was a HIT!
    Who Knew?? So good and a new favorite for stogy eggplant. Thanks!

    Being on lockdown for a year sucks, but discovering this wonderful chef who is changing my perspective and teaching me new cooking techniques is AWESOME!
    Okay, I'll admit it was because you are so devastatingly handsome that made me click the first time, but now I'm hooked on the cuisine! (Well, mostly that's it, but I still think you are a smoke show😉)
    I can't believe I never tried eggplant until a few months ago. My mom hated eggplant, so we never ate it growing up. I was given a couple of beautiful eggplant recently, and decided anything that pretty has to be good to eat! I got my trusty Better Homes and Gardens cookbook out and found the recipe for Eggplant Parmesan. OH MY!!! How did I not know about this delicious dish???
    Your eggplant looks even better, so I'll be actually buying eggplant now so I can make this.
    BTW, I made your rice and garbanzo dish with the egg-crust baked topping a few nights ago. I thought I cooked enough for leftovers, but my son loved it so much I don't think there was a grain of rice left!
    Thank you for making the world a better place. Much love from California!

      If it has seeds inside and comes from a flowering plant, it's a fruit. This includes eggplant, cucumber, tomatoes, and peppers. They are often considered botanical fruits and culinary vegtables but are absolutely fruit. Look up the case against the supreme court! The USSC went to court over how to tax tomatoes and "vegatble" won.

    Just found you, and I love your channel for so many reasons! Delicious, healthy, easy recipes. You explain things that help me understand cooking better; such as salt taking away the bitterness, smoking oil changes the flavor, and frying is better with reduced water. Your so easy to listen to and watch (you have a great presence and camera command). And you explain how to cook with vegetables that I know little about (like eggplant). I'm so glad I found you!

    I remember visiting Spain with my parents, many years ago and eating everyday at a local restaurant, where they served something like this, I don't remember the honey, and I ordered it practically everyday and the restaurant owners, who we got to know, (that's Spain for you) invited us to an all afternoon meal with their family and asked us what we'd like to eat and guess what I asked for?
    Yep, and it arrived in abundance! 😋😋
    We also had strawberries steeped in Cointreau for dessert!
    Simple, but delicious!

    I’m usually not a fan of eggplant, but this looks really good. I might have to give this a try! *SHARED*

    I've looked at all your aurbergine receipes. Today I shall try 1 of them. I've bought 6 aurbergines. 😄 🤣 so I have big plans. Oh you are a brilliant cook, you cook all the things I really enjoy. How about having a apron with spain on a fork. I'm not into T.Shirts. please think about this ...love you
