mini eggplant

mini eggplant

This weekend at the market, I spotted these mini eggplants. I’d never heard of them before, so I picked up a few to try. They are so tiny – only a couple of inches long!

For reference, the dish I put them in is the same dish I used for the donut peaches.

    I’ve seen these at the market! Do they taste the same as regular their larger cousins? I was worried they’d be somewhat bitter.

      I’m not sure. I’m hoping they’ll be the same [or better!] but I haven’t cooked them yet :]

    We have these all the time. I simply slice them up and sprinkle them with some spices…cumin, paprika, besan/gram flour (for a little extra crunchiness), salt etc etc, and shallow try them. They’re also very nice on the grill pan just with a drizzle of olive oil.

    ps; they taste the same as the larger ones!
