Eggplant

I have to admit, eggplant is not my summer-go-to-vegetable, say, like tomatoes :)  But I do enjoy cooking and eating eggplant so I decided to include a few plants in my summer garden.  Well, they are just beginning to bloom and the eggplant is probably one of my favorite vegetable blossoms.  I love the aubergine color and the soft umbrella shape. 

This year I planted four classic Black Magic plants as compared to last year when I planted Fingerling Eggplant.  The Fingerling had good flavor but the fruit was very narrow and elongated, making it difficult to do much with it, except saute or grill.  I think I'll be happier with the Black Magic.






One of my favorite things to do with eggplant is make Eggplant Rolatini, which is basically
  • Thinly sliced eggplant, 
  • Grilled, 
  • Filled and rolled with a savory mixture of softened goat cheese and fresh herbs, 
  • Simmered in a light tomato sauce...delicious!  
OK...so maybe eggplant is one of my favorite summer vegetables after all :)
