Cooking with Eggplant
This shiny, purple veggie is the perfect base for meatless dishes or a welcomed addition to burgers, seafood dishes, and pastas. Pick one up at the farmers' market or grocery store and see how it shines in these recipes.
Roasted Eggplants with Herbs
A cousin to tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes, the eggplant gets its name from the first varieties of its kind, which were white, round, and egg-size. Now they also come in green and
deep purple and are typically much larger. Although available year-round, they are most abundant from July to October. Look
for firm eggplants that feel heavy for their size and have smooth, shiny skins and bright green stems. Try some of the recipes
in this gallery for maximizing tastiness while cooking with eggplant.
Our Roasted Eggplants with Herbs recipe is a classic example of the delectable qualities of this veggie. This simple preparation
yields irresistible results. Use very firm, small eggplants; if young and fresh enough, they won't be bitter.
