Receta Mediterrasian Spicy Eggplant
I picked up two beautiful eggplants at the farmers market because they were beautiful.
Yes, simply because they looked pretty.
One was angelic white and the other, sort of lavender purple in color. I decided that I was going to make something out of them. I knew somehow I would figure it out. Five days later my two beautiful eggplants were starting to shrivel. They seriously needed to be cooked and this is how the recipe came to be.
Eggplant is a strange vegetable, at least to me.
I love it, but then again I’m not so sure what to do with it half the time.
Of course, there are great eggplant dishes like babaganoush, eggplant rollatini and ratattouie, but let’s face it, eggplant can get a little boring.
This recipe was a result of pure magic. It just happened. Both Kurt and I loved it and I truly hope you like it too.
It also didn’t take a lot of work on my part. The eggplant roasted in the oven while I cooked the rest of our dinner.
