I love eggplants, but allergic to all seeds, peanuts and nuts. I cannot use commercially available hoisin sauce because it has sesame oil. I cannot make hoisin sauce because it has peanut butter, so I came up with this dish tonight to satisfy my craving for Chinese eggplants.

Tips:

  • Prep the eggplant properly: Slit the eggplant lengthwise and score the flesh in a crisscross pattern. This will help the eggplant cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the eggplant its flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a combination of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
  • Cook the eggplant until tender: The eggplant should be cooked until it is tender and slightly caramelized. This will take about 20 minutes in the oven or 10 minutes in a pan.
  • Add the cannellini beans and tomatoes: Once the eggplant is cooked, add the cannellini beans and tomatoes. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or bread.

Conclusion:

This savory aubergine and cannellini bean dish is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The eggplant is tender and flavorful, the cannellini beans add a creamy texture, and the tomatoes add a pop of freshness. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual lunch.
