Grilled Eggplant Salad Recipe ยำมะเขือยาว - Hot Thai Kitchen!
The tender, sweet, juicy flesh of grilled eggplant is the perfect vehicle for the tart, citrusy dressing, and it's made better by the gooey egg yolk. And the dried shrimp....yes, the dried shrimp, which are salty, chewy, umami shrimp flavour bombs!
This is definitely one of my favourite ways to prepare eggplant, and a dish I always enjoy in the summer!

Roasted Eggplant Lentil Salad
Hate lentil salad? Think eggplant salad is boring? Let me run this one past you: lentils infused with flavour from a seasoned broth, then tossed in a lemony garlicky dressing with juicy tomato and a token scattering of green fluffage, topped with plump, caramelised cubes of roasted eggplant and sprinkled with feta.
It's meaty, it's satisfying, it's interesting and it's just downright tasty. Plus it keeps well!
