Tips & Tricks
Score a crosshatch pattern into both cut sides of the eggplant “scallops” with a sharp knife before cooking to create a nice sear as well as add visual appeal.
If in season/available, try replacing the button mushrooms with fresh King oyster mushrooms, cut crosswise into 1½-inch slices, then soaked in hot water for 2 hours. Before cooking the mushrooms in step 2, heat the mushrooms and 2 cups of water in a large, deep skillet to a simmer over high heat; cover and cook 15 minutes, then strain.
Try serving “scallops” over your favorite pasta or grain.
