This Week’s Bag Featuring Round Eggplant! 5/18-5/19

May 17, 2016 by Justine Espiritu Leave a Comment

This week’s bag features round eggplant! Eggplants are members of the nightshade family that include the potato and tomato, which makes them technically a fruit but they are generally thought of and prepared as a vegetable.  The flesh generally has a fairly bland flavor but because of its sponge like texture, it takes on the flavor of other foods, spices and seasonings it is cooked with. Eggplant is excellent when stuffed with a variety of ingredients or cooked using one of several methods, such as sautéing, frying, broiling, baking, grilling, or slowly cooking in meat, rice, or cheese dishes and stews. When prepared on their own they are sometimes breaded or battered before cooking. What else is in this week’s bag?
