Eggplant in Miso Seasoned Sauce
Ingredients and Directions for Four Servings
2 medium sized eggplants *
2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus more for brushing eggplant
Garlic salt, for sprinkling on the eggplant slices
1 white or yellow onion, peeled and sliced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and put through a press
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons white miso
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy type sauce such as tamari, Maggi or reduced sodium
Optional: Greek yogurt and parsley for serving
Wash, dry and cut the ends off the eggplants. Slice about 1/4 inch thick and brush each side with a little oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt. Either grill over medium heat about 5 to 7 minutes a side or bake in a 375 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes until easily pierced with a fork.
While eggplant is cooking, saute the onion slices in 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until tender - about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the pressed garlic and continue to cook for 30 more seconds. Pour in the beef broth. Whisk in the miso, apple cider vinegar and soy sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes or so.
Cut the cooked eggplant slices into fourths and add to the miso broth mixture. Gently toss. Serve with a swoosh of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of parsley if desired.
