Private Notes
Comments
From the article: Placed under a gas or electric broiler, the eggplant can be broiled by turning it very frequently until the skin is blackened and the vegetable is soft. This will take at least 30 minutes. If you have a gas stove you can hold the eggplant over the flame, with a long-handled fork, turning it until the entire exterior is blackened. This last method is fairly messy but an eggplant cooked over the flame acquires a hauntingly smoky flavor that enhances the ''caviar.''
“Step 1 Cook the eggplant in the oven or over a flame as described above. Set aside to cool.” There is no description.
