Need your best ways to marinade veggies

Got lots of eggplant. Peeled and then poured olive oil and lemon juice, fresh, over it. Takes tons of olive oil even with little quantity. Any suggestions?

How about a low cal version? Thinking of making eggplant parm. or even some veggies to put on a skewer? Thanks.

Anyone try just salt and water as I saw in an eggplant parm. recipe here? Thanks.

the only low-cal version i can think of for marinating veggies is to pickle them. you may want to make a batch of pickled shredded cabbage with sea salt and water and add slices of eggplant to the batch. The fermenting may soften it and tenderize the eggplant without your having to result to using oil.


most raw restaurants marinate with a combination of nama shoyu and olive oil. the nama shoyu salts break down fibers and the oil softens.

tomato puree (raw)
celery juice
lemon juice
cayenne pepper
garlic juice
jalapeno juice

for the parmesan "cheese" just blend macadamia and lemon and sprinkle on top

i dunno
it just might do something to it
instead of tasting like a hunk of rubber
