Garlicky Eggplant

This eggplant dish is simple and delicious on its own or tossed with your favorite pasta. The version pictured above was made with Lavender Frog Egg eggplants from our friends at Novick Urban Farm, but you can use any smaller variety (ie. Japanese or Chinese).

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb. eggplant, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic grated or finely minced
  • ½ tsp. dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1½ tbsp. lemon juice or white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup parsley, roughly chopped

Directions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the eggplant, preferably cut-side down. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft. (If there isn’t enough room in your skillet for one even layer, work in batches.)
  • Once the eggplant is softened, add the garlic, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper. Toss to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes or until garlic is aromatic and just starting to brown.
  • Turn off the heat and add in the lemon juice or vinegar. Garnish with the chopped parsley. Enjoy!
