Eggplant for breakfast...


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!

  2. Sounds wonderful!! On a side note, I've always heard that eggplant is poisonous while raw, so we don't use it in salads either :-)

    2. Raw eggplant is not toxic. The leaves and flowers are, so don't eat those.
