Eggplant puree?

[Sara51692 162]

Did anybody eat eggplant during the puree phase? I start pureed today and didn't find any search results for eggplant puree (such a weird thing to search for!). It just sounds really good to me - I've been craving eggplant, so I'm curious if anybody tried to do a faux eggplant-parm italian-type puree thing? I was thinking of roasting the eggplant and pureeing it? Maybe searching with ricotta and Tomato sauce? Any thoughts?

Yes the same people that make hummus can't remember the name off hand make an eggplant purée called baba ghanoush it's pretty awesome or just google it for a bunch of recipes.< /p>

Around here we pureed everything but the kitchen sink. If you can handle some mild Tomato sauce, you can probably handle cooked eggplant with a little ricotta. I have a Maltese chef in my kitchen, and I had some lovely pureed and soft foods that I would not have had otherwise.

Baba Ghanoush is amazing! I would not add much garlic though to start. Eggplant can cause gas in some people

Well, I did it! Haha I made an eggplant mush with garlic and some spices and par cooked it. Then I layered it in a ramekin with Tomato sauce at the bottom and a layer of ricotta above it (with egg mixed in both layers to make it casserole-y). Turned out pretty delicious! It ended up looking like shepherd's pie! I'm calling it eggplant shepherds'a pie.

I was craving an Italian fix (my family just had eggplant parmesan the other night) so I wasn't sure if baba ghanoush would do the trick! I feel a little gassy already so we'll see if my stomach settles.
