Eggplant and Peppers in Black Bean Garlic Sauce image

Delicious! :) Makes 4 servings as a main dish. It can easily serve 6-8 if you add fried or extra firm tofu, slices of chicken breast, or white fish, and it's delicious that way, too. I've also added sliced cabbage to the vegetables.

Chinese Eggplants (Aubergine) With Black Bean Sauce image

I love eggplants, but allergic to all seeds, peanuts and nuts. I cannot use commercially available hoisin sauce because it has sesame oil. I cannot make hoisin sauce because it has peanut butter, so I came up with this dish tonight to satisfy my craving for Chinese eggplants.

Categories side dish

Time 1h15m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 large eggplants, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup rich fowl glaze (see recipe)
2 tablespoons minced fermented black beans (available in some Asian markets)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions, green part only

Steps:

Place the eggplant rounds on a double thickness of paper towels and sprinkle them with the salt. Let stand for 1 hour. Pat the eggplant dry. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the eggplant rounds in batches, cooking until they are blackened on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside.
Heat the glaze in a medium-size saucepan. Whisk in the black beans, oyster sauce and pepper. Cook until the sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup. Place the eggplant rounds on a broiler pan and brush the tops generously with the black bean sauce and broil about 1 minute. Turn and brush the other side of each round with the sauce. Broil about 1 minute. Divide the eggplant among 4 plates and top with any remaining sauce. Sprinkle with scallions and serve immediately.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still have a little bit of crunch.
Be careful not to burn the garlic and ginger. This will make the dish bitter.
Add the black bean sauce gradually, tasting as you go, until you reach the desired flavor.
Serve the dish immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions.

Conclusion:

This eggplant and peppers in black bean garlic sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. The black bean sauce is flavorful and slightly sweet, and it pairs perfectly with the tender eggplant and peppers. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
