You don't need to work hard to make this vegetarian dish look stunning. Very colorful vegetables!
This is the golden eggplant dish that I do whenever we have the company to dinner and there are vegetarians among us or feel that something a little lighter is in order. So meat eaters among us like a meat meal once in a while, and besides, eggplant is such a meaty vegetable!
Roasted eggplant and squash with Tahini-yogurt Sauce roasted the eggplant in a very hot oven until char, and then serve them and topped them more vegetables and yogurt-tahini sauce. Now, I'm using a grilled walnut pumpkin and red onion for vegetables, but you can also use whatever vegetables in the season.
Every time, you get a bitter eggplant, and it's impossible to say which one they just look through. To avoid any possible bitterness in your finished dish, the half eggplant salt and let the juices run. Then rinse and pat dry before cooking.
It's a quick step-called "Degorger" in French-and it's worth the extra time you have to wait.
Serve the cooked eggplant, charred with the beav on the side, and you have a satisfying dinner with vibrant colours, a little heat, crisis, aromas, and cooling sauce. Guests on my table are always happy.
