Discs: eggplant discs are ideal for serving as an appetizer or side dish, with a simple dressing of olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, and vinegar, or gratin with a crunchy breadcrumb mixture on top. Eggplant discs are also excellent for our breaded eggplant recipe, like in eggplant parmesan, and for making eggplant pizza. Cubes or dice: eggplant cubes are ideal for making other recipes, such as eggplant pasta (Italian pasta alla Norma), eggplant curry, caponata, eggplant pasta salad, and rice salad, for putting in a wrap or serving on crostini bread. Diced eggplant is also suitable as a side dish. Long slices: eggplant slices are ideal for making famous Italian eggplant parmigiana or for using in a sandwich. Eggplant slices are also suitable as a side dish. Boats: eggplant boats are ideal for making baba ganoush (eggplant dip), eggplant soup, stuffed eggplant with vegan pesto, tahini sauce, couscous salad, or even roasted eggplant cream cheese.
