Preparation

Preparation10 min

Cook time25 min

Place the eggplant on top of a stove with medium flame and roast till the skin becomes soft and mushy.
Turn the eggplant to all sides to roast it equally on all sides.
Pierce the eggplant with a fork or knife at different places, as it helps the air from the eggplant to escape without exploding in the MW.
Then place it on a MW-safe plate and microwave for 4 minutes on high and then flip it over and run the MW for another 2 minutes or until the eggplant feels soft and mushy when squeezed gently.
Place the eggplant (again after piercing it with a fork or knife) on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for 15 minutes or until eggplant appears to be soft and mushy.
