Directions
Cold Eggplant With Spicy Asian Peanut Dressing, Don’t know what to do with those beautiful, skinny Japanese eggplants? Try this. It’s easy, healthy, and even better the next day. Slim Japanese eggplants are steamed and marinated in a spicy peanut dressing. Comes from World Vegetarian by Madhur Jaffrey. Can also be made with regular eggplants cut the same way., I don’t have peanut butter so used a mixed nut butter. I only used a generous teaspoon of sesame oil, I was worried it’d be too strong. I love that dang sauce. So easy, so yummy. Who cares about the eggplant. I have that sauce. LOL. Definitely a bookmark recipe! I’ll make it again. That sauce would be great on just about anything., Less sesame oil…cuz I’m a chicken and was afraid it would be too strong. used a mixed nut butter. I never buy peanut butter. I thought mine came out a bit watery so I added another teaspoon of unsweetened sunflower butter which did the trick. Having said that, my nut butter isn’t as thick as peanut. I will make it again. Next time I’ll try a second teaspoon of the sesame oil.
