Eggplant comes in many different shapes, sizes, and colors, and the way you cut it can make all the difference. There are many cutting techniques you can try and the one you end up using will determine how you’ll prepare your eggplant.
Helved Eggplant
Halving eggplant is one of the easiest cutting techniques, and all you have to do is cut it in half lengthwise. When it comes to dishes you can make this way, helved eggplants are best grilled. Using it to make stuffed eggplant is also an option because you’ll have enough room to fit the stuffing.
Eggplant Slices
Slicing your eggplant width-wise into round pieces is also an option, and you can prepare many delicious dishes this way. Just like helved eggplant, round eggplant slices can taste delicious when grilled, but you can also bread and fry them. Slicing eggplant in smaller pieces and making eggplant fries with them is also an option.
Cubed Eggplant
Cutting an eggplant into tiny cubes takes more time than other cutting techniques, but it’s necessary when it comes to certain dishes. Their small size makes them a perfect fit for stews and soups, but adding them to stir-fries is also a great way to put them to some good use.
