EGGPLANT (24T)

Eggplant has a purple color that adds a dash of color to a variety of dishes. Eggplant has a flavor that is tender, mild, and sweet with a slight vegetal bitterness. It has texture that is firm and spongy when raw, and a melt in your mouth tenderness when cooked. Eggplant will absorb the flavor of whatever it’s cooked with. A popular method is to fire roast the eggplant until its exterior is charred, then scoop out the softened, smoky flesh to blend into a dip or other dish. Eggplant can also be marinated, broiled, braised, deep-fried, sautéed, stir fried, and baked.
