Eggplant take #3 (plus Squash take #1)
Here's my third attempt at cooking eggplant. Pretty much all of them failed, which means success for LoserChef. This time around, I boiled it in water for a long time. This is also my first attempt at cooking Squash. Other ingredients here are olive oil, garlic, fresh ginger slices, and celery. I saved the juice left from this, and drank it later; it's very nutritious. I'm on a sugar-, mold-, and ferment-free diet (been 3 days) which means no dairy, cheese, bread, sweets (I'm not trying to lose weight at all, but to kill a bad yeast in my gut called Candida. I don't know if it's there but I'll just do this anyway to make sure since I've been having GI problems recently). And add to that the months of LoserChef style cooking I've been doing and you can guess that my tongue has pretty much adapted to the raw taste of everything. So, what you find disgusting, I no longer do. # posted by Adil @ 3:57 AM

You should try sauteeing the eggplant and squash (I'd recommend yellow squash or zucchini) with some minced garlic in a tsp of olive oil until semi-soft, with a sprinkle of salt.
You could even take a firm block of tofu, rinse it, and then press it between two paper towels and squeeze to get moisture out, and then crumble it into the pan for protein. Then, I'd pour a can of crushed tomatoes on, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, and serve with risotto or noodles.
I know that you're going for tasteless, but I can't see you living like this.
Edit: I guess tofu is a "fermented" food, so nevermind on that. Sorry to hear about your stomach problem.

Or, you can julienne the eggplant into thin strips, including the skin, along with shredded carrots, cabbage, scallions, mushrooms (I'd prefer straw), baby corn, water chestnuts, onions, garlic, and ginger, and cook it with a tsp of olive oil. Then, add some soy sauce. I'd suggest adding a tbsp of sugar or honey to this, but your diet prevents it. This dish is good with rice on the side.
