Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Thai Charred Eggplant with Tofu Makes 2 to 4 servings Prep Time: 15 Minutes Cook Time: 30 Minutes Ready in: 45 Minutes " This is a very authentically Thai tasting recipe using some European techniques in the preparation, which just makes this recipe a 10 out of 10. It's super delicious!!! " Ingredients 5 small eggplants 3 fresh green chile peppers 4 cloves garlic cloves, peeled 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 small onion, quartered 3 teaspoons light brown sugar 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 8 ounces tofu, diced 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil Directions 1 To Char Eggplants: Either place them on a hot grill or on a hot stove burner. Cook on all sides until burnt and black (this will create some smoke if you do it indoors). Remove from heat and place on a rack to cool. Peel, slice diagonally, and set aside. 2 In a food processor or blender place chile peppers, garlic, cilantro, onion, sugar and lime juice. Process until smooth. 3 Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat and add the blended mixture. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 1 minute. Gently stir in the tofu and 1/4 cup of basil; mix well and then add the eggplant. Cook until heated through and garnish with the remaining basil.
