Our 10 best eggplant recipes: grilled, roasted, caviar, how to make it sublime this summer?
It's the star of the summer market: the eggplant seduces with its beautiful purple color, its melting texture and its slightly smoky taste when cooked. Yet it can sometimes be intimidating: too much water, too much bitterness? With a few tricks, it can be magnified and made irresistible.
The key? Choose a firm, glossy skin and prepare it with care. Before cooking, drain it with a little salt to remove excess water and soften its bitterness. Then, the possibilities are endless: grilled on the barbecue, roasted in the oven, candied in a pan, or transformed into caviar to spread as an aperitif.
Another advantage of eggplants: they're low in calories, high in fibre and antioxidants. In other words, it ticks all the boxes for healthy, gourmet summer cooking!
