Eggplant with tomato jam

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
Tomato chopped, seeds removed (I would also peel)
Ginger
Simple syrup
1Eggplant (if possible Japanese)
Red miso
Red wine vinegar

Directions

This recipe is hot off the wonderful Great Chefs series. There are no amounts specificied--use your best judgment.

make a jam by cooking the tomato, ginger and simple syrup until it is the consistency of jam.

Cut the eggplant into about one-inch pieces and use salt very very sparingly because the miso is salty. (But do salt the eggplant with a tiny bit of salt because it will help draw out the moisture.) Combine the miso with a little rice wine vinegar. Coat the top of each piece of eggplant with the miso/vinegar mixture. Bake at 350 until the eggplant is just tender (I would say maybe ten minutes at most--it depends on your eggplant).

Serve topped with the jam. Mary Curtis Posted to EAT-L Digest 08 Sep 96 From: Mary Curtis <curtism@...> Date: Mon, 9 Sep 1996 16:53:43 -0400
