NCT's Iron Chef 28: Battle Eggplant

Adillo303

*****
For Iron Chef 28, the secret ingredient is……..

Eggplant!

As with the other ICs, this is a challenge to ourselves. There is no judging, and no winner. We are ALL winners in this since we will all benefit from the creativity and new recipes that this challenge will bring us.

The rules are simple, make any kind of dish you want, however you want. Drink, Appetizer, Main Course, Dessert, etc. The only stipulation is that you must use eggplant in some way.

Once your dish is ready, it’s a good idea to make a new post with your recipe. Then, post a link and a picture of your recipe to this thread. Alternatively, if you like, post your recipe and pictures here. In the end, we will compile all the results into one thread for easy searching.

Now, let Battle Eggplant begin!

I've posted this before, but it's good, it's eggplant, and I have photos, so why not post it again?

:mrgreen: Alright! Another great looking eggplant entry. Very nice ratatouille, Miniman. I could eat that as a meatless meal. Of course, the carnivore who inhabits my home has to have meat :biggrin:.
 
Glad to see IC is still going! :clap:

Great job everyone. Now, lets see if I can get my head outta my ass and do a recipe!! I think I’ll make something up really quick for this one and see how it goes. If it fails, you’ll know not to try it, but at least it’ll be an entry!
 
K-k-kk Kellllllllltin, beautiful Keltin, you're the only one (of many) that we adore, when the eggplant appears over the forrrrrum... we'll be standing at the K-k-kkitchen doorrrrrrrrrrrr!:lol:
