Mushroom and lemon go really well together, and I love using Chinese eggplant for this dish, but you can totally use the regular kind.
Serves 4
You will need:
4 Chinese eggplants, cut in half, lengthwise
7 tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt
chili flakes
2 pounds mixed mushrooms,
cleaned, larger ones cut in half
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
pepper
grated zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1 small red onion, finely diced
