Try this at home: 鱼香茄子

If you haven't tried, do whenever the opportunity comes your way: try Chinese Eggplants in hot garlic sauce (鱼香茄子). Or braised aubergine with fish flavour, it can have many names. Often its the very same thing.

Don't be deterred by the odd naming, there's no fish in it and no specifically fish smell. And it comes without minced pork if you want to, so vegetarians welcome. Its a burst of flavours, while it is kinda easy to cook at home, the recipe is not too difficult. If you can get those long slim aubergines (called "Japanese" where I am), go for it.

Yu Xiang sauce or fish flavor sauce is often referred to as hot garlic sauce. It is made with a variety of ingredients including chili peppers, garlic, ginger, scallion, black vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. The sauce is often used as a combined stir-frying sauce. One of the representatives of Sichuan cuisine is Sichuan eggplant, or Yu Xiang Qie Zi (鱼香茄子 in Chinese), and the famous Yu Xiang Rou Si (鱼香肉丝 or fish-fragrant shredded pork). Some menus name Yu Xiang eggplant as Chinese Eggplants in hot garlic sauce.

I wonder if people would buy packs of #fertilizer in small packs for 20L #kratky
#hydroponics with instruction on how to use them.

I make them for my use & found it really time saving to prepare them in advance to just mix them with water when my plants are germinated & mature enough to be transferred to bucket.

I make different ones for #tomato, #pepper, #cucumber, #melon, #eggplant. each pack will be about 5 euros.

Middle Eastern / Mediterranean Style Eggplant w/ Yogurt & Pine Nuts

There are different variations of this dish.. This is how I make it. It's easy and very tasty! This makes a nice addition to 'Mezza' ~ Or can be served alone as an appetizer or side dish.

The yogurt and fresh mint make this a perfect dish for the summer!

Ingredients:

2 to 6 Small Eggplants

1/2 to 1 Cup Plain Yogurt ( I recommend using thicker yogurts, preferably a Greek yogurt)

1 Small Clove Garlic (Minced)

1 to 2 Teaspoons Dried Mint

Chopped Italian Parsley

Chopped Fresh Mint

A Few Tablespoons Pine Nuts

A Few Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Two Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

1 Teaspoon Turmeric (Optional)

Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper

Two to six smaller eggplants will easily make 4 to 5 portions as a small appetizer.

Rinse and dry eggplants. Trim tops, and cut in 1/4" slices lengthwise.

Place eggplant slices in a colander, sprinkle generously with salt, and let sit for half hour. This allows the eggplants to 'sweat'.

Note: 'Sweating' is usually only done for larger eggplant. This helps remove any bitterness, and excess water that helps to cook the eggplant faster.. Though I use a smaller, more delicate variety for this dish, I still like "to sweat the small stuff"... ( ! )

Place yogurt in a small bowl, stir in garlic and dried mint... Add a little salt. Set aside.

Dry eggplant slices on paper towels, and place on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and place under broiler... 4 to 5" from heat. Watch that you don't burn the eggplant. Turn over (gently) after about ten minutes. Repeat steps until cooked. Eggplant slices should be soft, and browned.

Sauté pine nuts in butter on stovetop. This should take a few minutes.. Pine nuts cook fast (Don't burn!) Pine nuts should be light brown. Remove.

Arrange eggplant on a serving dish in small rows. Spoon yogurt mixture on top. Add pine nuts, and chopped parsley and mint. For the final touch, I sprinkle turmeric on top.. and a little freshly ground pepper and salt.

Serve with pita bread or fresh baguette. This can also be refrigerated, and served cold ~ Enjoy ~ !
