Eggplant must be an acquired taste. My mother never made it at home and I just can’t tolerate it.
That stated, I’ve never made it. The one time I had it was one of those disappointing restaurant experiences.
Not writing it off, just not next week. But thanks for making me think about making it at home.
Make it grilled on the stove top with garlic and olive oil, then mixed with a little nutmeg, salt, pepper, vinegar and a little more olive oil in a bowl. Then serve it as a side dish! Or try making caponata with it. A lot of work, but worth it.
