Eggplant "Steaks"

February 27, 2015 | Eggplant, Vegetarian, Purple, 52 Weeks of Cooking

Who let the Whos out of Whoville? That's seriously how I felt while picking out the ingredients for this week's challenge. Even the cashier at the grocery story noticed the theme and commented "Do you like purple foods?" Yes, random cashier, I do like purple foods.

Check out the recipes for the purple mashed potatoes and radicchio cole slaw! They were amazing. And simple.

Here's what you need for some awesome eggplant steaks:

Slice your eggplant into 1 inch slices, then set aside on paper towels to soak out as much moisture as you can.



Whisk together the rest of the ingredients and reserve half for a dipping sauce. Next dip the egg plant into the remaining sauce and slap onto a screaming hot grill. Or a grill pan on your stove, because there's a foot of snow outside.

Continually brush each side with the sauce as you cook for about two minutes per side, less if they are thin, and until beautiful grill marks are on your 'steaks.'



Dip.



Brush.

Repeat.

And there you have it! Eggplant Steaks! Garnish with goat cheese and enjoy.

Here are the recipes for the purple mashed potatoes and radicchio cole slaw - in case you want to recreate your own purple meal.
