ROASTED EGGPLANT WITH BASIL AND MINT
INSERT EGGPLANT EMOJI (Oh, wait, that sounds super dirty)
Thank you Jules and Janna for surprising my parents with these fresh from the farm veggies on the one day I was visiting! And, thank you parents for being awesome parents and giving me as much of it as I could carry home. I know it would have gone to good use so, I had to make sure I did it justice on my end. So I made a couple of dishes and my husband made another this week using, well all of it (not to mention—though, I’m totally mentioning it. What a stupid saying. Any way—the beet, potato, and basil baby food dish that had to happen).
I had some archaic thought that I had to soak eggplant forever before using it—which by the way is why I never ever cook it. So not worth it. Well, I said, eff that noise and skipped soaking all together and the dish is bomb! Well, bomb if you like eggplant. If you don’t, well, you’re still awesome and I hope the person you’re making this dish for loves you as much as you love them. Don’t worry, it’s super easy to make, so have fun chopping away and then enjoy!
