Eggplants? Make eggplant parmesan then freeze what’s left! I was just thinking that I should’ve grown one eggplant bush. I love the beauty of the purple eggplant but only like it cooked a couple of ways, so wouldn’t want too many.
Anyway, I saw a delicious eggplant Parmesan being cooked on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. So I kind of made up my own version of it. It starts with the eggplant being sliced fairly thin, peeled, and fried until it is very crunchy. And then put in layers with tomato sauce and cheese. The other way I like it as an eggplant moussaka. If you like I can send those recipes when I can get to my other computer.
If you’re anywhere nearby, I will come buy some from you!
Nope - not close enough for a drive-by eggplant pickup! I’m going to need eveything I’ve got, too. Sure, send me the recipes. I love, or should I say LOVE! eggplant moussaka & I do like eggplant parm. Thanks for reminding me about the moussaka.
I did get Tahini this morning to make the Baba Ganoush so I’m definitely going to try it. The eggplants are still blooming so I’m sure I’ll get another couple of large Black Beauty fruits & then I can try the moussaka recipe. Funny thing, until last year, I could never grow eggplants. The flea beetles ate them up when they were young & if I more or less got them past the flea beetles, I never got very good eggplants. I don’t know what happened, but last year I had gigantic eggplants (the green part) & quite a few large Black Beauties fruits. Even my SIL said she’d never seen such huge eggplant plants. This year, I’m growing them in my straw bale garden & while the plants themselves are not as big, they’re producing really well.
