Not sure when, but I'm gonna be on "The Splendid Table"!
About a month ago, I was grilling some eggplant for my vegetable caviar and
listening to "The Splendid Table" on NPR. Just on a whim, I called in so see
what advice she might be able to give me on grilling eggplant. For me, it's
anever-ending battle with bitterness and lost flavor. If I peel and salt
them, I lose the extra flavor from the peel. Anyway I called the number,
left a message with my question and contact numbers, and forgot about it.
Tuesday, a staffer from the show called me at work and asked me to be
available at 11 AM on Thursday to talk to the hos, Lynne Rosetto-Kaspert.
Sure thing, I said, and yesterday I actually got to ask my question. The
response: some people just have bad eggplant karma, and I should try the
sweeter Japanese eggplants instead of the globe ones. I told her about my
vegetable caviar recipe, and she just about went nuts over it. "Oh, I'd
never heard of that! Grilled onions, tomatoes and peppers, chopped up with
the eggplant? I know what I'm doing this weekend!" Gave me a bit of an ego
boost; this woman has some 20 years experience as a chef, cookbook author,
and instructor, and she'd never heard of this particular combination. But
if you listen to the show and hear somebody asking about roasting eggplants,
that's me.
