| This
is a slightly adapted version of a Japanese dish and makes a
nice appetizer. Dried bonito can be bought at most Oriental
groceries. It's actually dried tuna and comes in a cariety of
styles, the shaved bonito looks for all the world like sawdust,
but tastes better. The recipe calls for the finely shaved kind.
When you sprinkle it over the eggplant, the moisture and heat
makes the bonito curl and squirm in a rather unsettling way.
How often to you get to serve food that actually moves? |

the eggplant (use a potato peeler), prick all over with a fork
or skewer and brush with vegetable oil. Put under hot grill,
turning occasionally, until a fork goes through it easily.

some soy sauce over it and sprinkle the top with the shaved
bonito.
