Eggplant in garlic

Eggplants are very popular and easily available in the Philippines. I love this vegetable, and try and cook it at least once a week, even though I am the only one who eats it at home. Today's recipe is quite simple and I cook it very often. If your an eggplant fan,like me, you should give it a go.

Ingredients:

1. Eggplant - 200 gms
2. Garlic - 3 fat cloves
3. Salt and pepper - as needed
4. Oil - as needed

Method

1. Wash and cut the eggplant into three inch pieces (lengthwise)
2. Finely chop garlic.
3. Heat oil in a pan, add the garlic and fry for a minute.
4. Add the eggplant, salt and pepper. Stir fry for a minute and then cook on slow flame for six to seven minutes. 

Alternately, you could marinate the egg plant in all the mentioned ingredients and grill till done.

You could also add half a tablespoon of soy sauce to add Asian flavor.
