Roasted Eggplant Broth
Roasted Eggplant Broth: A light liquid that carries flavor extracted from the cooked ingredient. Straining removes solids; starch-rich ingredients can make it cloudy rather than clear.
Context
Cook eggplant flesh until soft; a browned outside alone can leave a spongy interior. Avoid incorporating bitter burnt skin into a smooth preparation unless a deliberate small smoky accent is intended.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a light base for soup. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
