No instructions for what to do with the eggplant after browning.
This is decent enough to eat what was made, but I will not be making it again. The instructions are not clear on what to do with the eggplant after sauteing it. Also, the flavor is very bland and boring. I don’t recommend this!
The recipe now says to remove the eggplant and set aside. You can always add more spices to your taste. Smoked paprika makes everything better. Nutritional yeast stirred in afterward would also be good.
Step 4. Close lid and vent, should probably be close lid and set vent to sealing because you are using the steam function.
Hi MP207,
Thank you for the feedback.
Step 4 is suggesting exactly as you mentioned but written differently. It states to close the lid and vent, which is another way of saying turn to sealing as it states to close both the lid and close the vent.
Family loved it! I modified a few things such as freah tomatoes (and basil) from our garden! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Good stuff, eggplant could cook less, red onion longer. Added salt, will try it again but want to explore more flavor.
Sorry. Did anyone answer when to add the eggplant back in? Is it after everything else is done cooking, or before the steam phase?
