I spent a little time picking things for a salad in the vegetable garden yesterday. AND, I found two sweet little eggplant (s)!! I texted my daughter and asked her if she thought eggplant would be good in a salad. No, we decided. Cut up, they oxidize quickly and turn an ugly, mottled brown. Ewww... but since they were shiny and ready to pick, I picked them. She suggested I fry them in butter with onion and salt and pepper.
So, that's what I did. I thinly sliced 1/2 of a medium onion, peeled an eggplant and cut it into thin little quarter-slices, sauteed all of it in a couple Tablespoons of butter (eggplant will absorb a lot of fat) until it was getting a little brown. Then I added Realsalt and freshly ground black pepper.
Then I ate it for breakfast! You can also see my glass of goat milk and a small glass of milk kefir there.
Ahhh... Perfect!
Yum! Look up a recipe called "eggplant parmesan".
ReplyDeleteYes. I want to try that. NOW I remember what I needed to pick up in town... Parmesan!
DeleteSounds wonderful!! On a side note, I've always heard that eggplant is poisonous while raw, so we don't use it in salads either :-)
ReplyDeleteI had no idea! Wow! I'll have to look into that! Thank you. :D
DeleteRaw eggplant is not toxic. The leaves and flowers are, so don't eat those.
