Vegan Miso Glazed Eggplant

2
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time45 mins
Total Time55 mins
Course: Main Courses, quick and easy, vegan, vegetarian
Cuisine: Japanese
Keyword: eggplant, japanese, miso
Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Glaze:

  • 1 tablespoon white or yellow miso paste
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons of tamari or soy sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425º. Cut the eggplant into 4 quarters lengthwise. Then cut those 4 spears in half diagonally.
  • Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt all over the flesh of the eggplant. All the salt to draw out some of the moisture for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, drizzle the sesame oil on the flesh of the eggplant. Place the eggplant flesh side down on a baking sheet.
  • Roast for 20 minutes and then rotate eggplant 90º so the other side of the flesh in now in contact with the baking sheet and roast for another 20 minutes.

While the eggplant is roasting, make the glaze.

  • In a small saucepan, combine miso paste, sugar, mirin, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and tamari.
  • Whisk together until smooth on medium high heat. When it starts to bubble, lower heat to simmer and allow it to reduce to a caramel like texture.
  • This process should take about 30 minutes on a low simmer. Swirl the sauce around every 3-5 minutes to prevent burning. Once it has hit the consistency of a smooth caramel, turn it off and set aside.
  • Pull the eggplant out of the oven and turn it flesh side up.
  • Using a silicon brush, coat the eggplant in with the miso glaze. Make sure every little bit of the eggplant is nicely saturated in the glaze.
  • Put the eggplant flesh and glaze side up back into the oven. Roast at 425º for about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn here.
  • The eggplant should be glistening about slightly blackened or candied looking when you take it out!

When pruning African Basil 🌿 ➡️ become a sweet🌸 little arrangement for my mama!

I try to make the most use out of the plants that I prune. African Basil produces these beautiful little purple flower when it’s overgrown. It’s the perfect pretty solution when it’s time to prune your plants!

•**SAVE THIS POST**!
Remember those moody aromatic beans I made last week? Well here’s a recipe using them! It’s a cold and rainy in LA so I figured it was the perfect time to share this cozy dish. You could enjoy it as a stew or as an appetizer!
•
✨Garlicky Roasted Tomato & White Beans✨:
6-8 cocktail tomatoes (cocktail tomatoes are larger than cherry tomatoes but smaller than normal tomatoes. You can find them at any grocery store!) 
¾ cup olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2-3 cups cooked or drained canned white beans **(I used my brothy white beans so there was more liquid! If using canned, feel free to add 2-3 cups of water or chicken broth! If the beans are fresh use 1-2 cups of the broth!)
1 whole lemon peeled and cut into small pieces
Lemon zest ( zest the lemon before peeling)
½ cup parmesan cheese
4-6 anchovies
1 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Toast for dipping
•
Heat oven to 400º. In a baking dish, add the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic cloves and salt.
•
Roast the tomatoes for 35-40 minutes then allow them to cool for 10 minutes. 
•
Place a large saucepan or a @lecreuset Dutch oven on medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil from the tomatoes and the 4 cloves of garlic. Save the rest of the oil for another time or drizzling at the end!
•
Using a wooden spoon, smash the garlic into the pan. Then add in the anchovies and chili flakes  and crush them using the wooden spoon. They should gently melt into the olive oil.
•
Once anchovies have incorporated into the olive oil, add the roasted tomatoes. Crush the tomatoes.
•
Next add in the white beans, broth, the whole lemon and half of the parmesan cheese. Stir together and then place back into the oven at 350º for 20 minutes. I actually poured my beans back into a baking dish to make it a fun snack for MJ and me! 
•
Pull the beans out of the oven and top with the remaining Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Drizzle a little of the tomato garlic olive oil on top to be EXTRA ~~!
•
Serve with crispy bread for dipping!

It’s been awhile since I checked in so I just wanted to say hello! 2021 feels like it’s finally starting to get into the swing of things and I feel really good about this new year ✨.

If you’re new, I’m Emily! I love cooking and helping others in the kitchen. I created my own line of authentic spice blends to assist the everyday cook in their kitchen and bring some boldness to their food! I have a passion for home entertaining and just creating a really lovely space in the place you spend the most time. I feel like food and cooking is so connected to your love for others, treating your home as a little sanctuary and making a wonderful life for yourself and the people around you. I have to admit... I REALLY miss throwing parties, hosting and making lots of food for lots of people! 🤞🏼 we can get back to that in 2021! Until then, I’m really enjoying my current company: 🧔🏽MJ, 🐶 Nala and Lucy 🐾 .

🦋In the next few weeks I’ll be rolling out some more fun additions to help make our homes feel even 🥧cozier, spicier✨ and more 💐beautiful!

How it’s started👉🏼How it’s going! Things are moving along nicely! So far we’ve: removed the countertops, backsplash, sink, faucet, microwave and cabinets! The new farmhouse sink is going in today and then hopefully backsplash will start moving in... but surprise! We’re picking ANOTHER backsplash (hopefully today). The goal is to have the kitchen done in 2ish weeks. Ambitious... but I think we could still do it!

More today on backsplash tile!
