Turn to my sauteed eggplant recipe the next time you need a low-effort side. It’s tender yet firm, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
Add olive oil and butter to a non-stick pan. Add the garlic and cook for a minute, then add the eggplant and soy sauce. Cover the pan and cook until the eggplant has softened, around 7 minutes. Add some water if needed.
Remove the eggplant from the pan and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
