  1. Pretty good recipe. I tried it because I had all of the ingredients on hand. I used mild red miso for my sauce. The only change I made was to cook the eggplant for 6 minutes per side instead of 5. I loved the sauce on my salmon and could see using it on other stuff. Yum! I might try the sauce with other citrus next time--i'm thinking lime but lemon could be great, too! Thanks for posting, Tebo, I like this.
     
  2. This was very simple and good. It was on the sweet side and very different than what we're used to but it was great. I left out the orange zest and used Sambal Oelek ( fresh chili paste) instead of cayenne. And I served it with pearl couscous .Will definetely make it again.
     
  3. Ok, so I will admit that I am picky when it comes to eggplant. It has to be cooked just right. And while I thought this was ok, the rest of the family didn't like it. I was the only person who ate more than one slice. So I gave it 2 stars, which according to Food.com is rating this recipe as "fair." Although this wasn't the recipe for my family, I still wouldn't discourage someone from trying it if they are looking for something other than the typical eggplant recipe.
     
  4. This was good, but definitely a touch on the sweet side and lacking in salt/seasonings. I omitted the zest, and it still had PLENTY of orange flavor, I don't think we would have cared for it any stronger. I added a touch of soy sauce for the deeper color and salty flavor. I also garnished with sesame seeds & fresh chopped scallions to make it more like the dish my local restaurant serves. The flavor was good, but I think I'll slow roast the eggplant so it will be more tender next time.
     
  5. We kept getting eggplant in our veggie box delivery I was tired of the old ways we cooked it. This was very easy and tasty. Like brokenburner I used barley miso. My guests loved it and I thought is was OK but too sweet. I made it again with Meyer lemons from our tree instead of oranges and really liked it. I'll certainly make it again.

  1. This recipe was in my cookbook for a LONG time, and I'm only sorry I didn't try it sooner! It was absolutely fabulous. I didn't use the oil -- just sprayed the eggplant -- and I used one tablespoon of water to one of orange juice. I had barley miso, so that's what I used; and I substituted pancake syrup for the honey. I also didn't have any oranges so I had to skip the zest. This makes a LOT of sauce! It's the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, with a nice little kick from the cayenne. Will DEFINITELY be repeating this recipe. Thanks for posting!
