Roasting is one of the best ways to cook eggplant. 2 Medium Eggplants  1/4cup / 60ml Olive Oil 1/2teaspoon / 2.5g Sea Salt 1/2teaspoon / 2.5g Garlic Powder 1/4teaspoon/ 1.25g Black Pepper Instructions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C). Slice the eggplant crosswise to make circles, about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick. Cut off the leafy end only after you are done slicing, so that you'll have more to grab onto as you slice. Arrange the eggplant slices on an extra large baking sheet in a single layer. Brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Flip and repeat the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Roast eggplant in the oven for  30-35 minutes , until soft, golden, and caramelized. You can flip halfway through if you like, but you don't have to. private chefs and event catering Palm Beach + Boca Raton + Fort Lauderdale + Miami Beach info@yadachef.com | 954-367-YADA (9232) 561-285-7466 www.yadachef.com south florida cateri

Making your own cured turkey “ham”, is not only healthier, but in our opinion much tastier.  It will be much lower in sodium and be preservative free.  You are going to use turkey in 3 different forms.
