Pasta with Eggplant, Tomatoes & Mozzarella
Pasta with eggplant, tomatoes, and mozzarella is a classic Italian dish that is both simple to make and delicious. I always add a pinch of chili flakes to mine. The eggplant in this vegetarian pasta dish has a meaty texture. Buon appetito!

Paprika Chicken, Eggplant and Tomato Bake
This Paprika Chicken, Eggplant and Tomato Bake is a recipe from Australia. I know it looks burnt, but it's just crispy and really delicious. This is so fast and easy to throw on a sheet pan. I just happened to have some leftover chicken thighs and a random eggplant. I cut this recipe in half for the two of us.

Ikra, Eggplant Spread
Ikra is a Ukranian vegetable spread that's made of roasted eggplant, bell peppers, onions, carrots, and garlic. I had it at a restaurant recently and decided to make my own. This deliciously healthy spread can be served with sliced bread, pita chips or would work well with a charcuterie board.

Eggplant Smothered with Charmoula Marinade
Charmoula is a Moroccan spice blend, is best known as a tart marinade for fish. Here, its fresh taste is a perfect complement to the warm creaminess of eggplant. This dish should be prepared ahead, to give the eggplant time to absorb the charmoula.

Vegetable Chili
This is one of my all-time favorite chili recipes, which happens to be vegetarian. It's the perfect thing to make for a crowd with a regular chili con carne. It will please your vegetarian guests and the carnivores as well. It's delicious!

Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce
My friend Mitch, who is an incredible cook, (brother of the stellar woodworker, note the phenomenal cutting board!) is in town and he made this Eggplant with Buttermilk Sauce for his mother for dinner. It's a Yotam Ottolenghi recipe from his Plenty cookbook. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to taste it, but I have been wanting to make this for some time. Sprinkle za'atar and plenty of pomegranate seeds on top and garnish with lemon thyme. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
