Cooking Tips
🍆 Eggplant
- Salt eggplant slices and let them sweat for 30 minutes to remove bitterness.
- Roast whole eggplant over a flame for smoky baba ganoush.
- Eggplant absorbs oil like a sponge — brush rather than pour oil on it.
Nutrition: Low calorie with fiber and antioxidants, especially nasunin in the purple skin.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 5 days. Use quickly once cut.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
