Aimee Herring Just like meat, eggplant is one of those magical ingredients that transforms when you apply heat to it. In its raw form, it tastes bitter, but it becomes tender and develops a divinely rich and complex flavor when you cook it. Native to India, it comes in several different varieties and can be stewed, fried, grilled, or roasted. When shopping, choose one with a firm and shiny skin that's the same color all over.

Our 15 eggplant recipes feature this versatile fruit (yes, fruit) in familiar dishes like salads and sandwiches as well as by itself with homemade dressing. Choose your favorite!
