Chef-Recommended Recipes

- 2. Roasted Tray: Dry the surface, spread pieces out and roast until edges brown without steaming.
- 3. Fresh Salad: Slice close to serving and use salt, acid and olive oil to lift the natural flavor.
- 4. Pasta or Rice Bowl: Cook until tender, then fold into grains or noodles with herbs and a light sauce.
- 5. Soup Finish: Add later in cooking when you want color and texture to remain clear.

I was not trying to make anything fancy. The eggplant just needed to be fresh enough for a quick roast with garlic, and it was.
The pack looked normal when I opened the bag. I used the eggplant before a busy work week. It did not turn watery in the pan.
The color looked good when I pulled it from the bag. I used the eggplant after work. I used half raw and half cooked.
I kept it simple. Cut it thick and browned both sides. That made it easy to tell whether the order was fresh. The pack looked normal when I opened the bag. There was one small thing: it drinks oil if the pan is too cool. I worked around it instead of changing the plan. I would keep this for the same kind of order again.
The eggplant was still cold when I unpacked it. I used the eggplant on a rainy night. I used half raw and half cooked.
