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.
🍝 Pasta
- Salt your pasta water generously — it should taste like the sea.
- Save a cup of pasta water before draining to thicken your sauce.
- Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package says for perfect al dente.
Nutrition: Good source of complex carbohydrates and B vitamins. Whole wheat adds fiber.
Storage: Dry pasta lasts 1-2 years. Cooked pasta keeps 3-5 days refrigerated.
