How do you peel an eggplant?

In: Food & Cooking [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Basically the same way you peel any vegetable. A vegetable peeler works pretty well, though can be hard to get started with. A sharp paring knife will work well also.

Pop under the grill, allow to char slightly, allow to cool, peel, enjoy.
