Members Orval Posted June 16, 2017 Members Share Posted June 16, 2017 Egg plant tastes wonderful. cut about 1/4 inch thick roll in egg, then roll in flour fry in olive oil till lightly browned on both sides. I like to add spices to my flour, but these are great for a side with almost any summer meal. If you are not a fryer, use the same process and lay on a cookie sheet in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes.

Members swathdiver Posted June 16, 2017 Members Share Posted June 16, 2017 As I've gotten older my tongue doesn't mind eggplant once in a while! There are many varieties too. Some farmers I once knew grew some pretty neat looking ones, big and round and colorful! Gave me some and my mother cooked them up real good, tasted wonderful. My wife adds bread crumbs and real butter with the olive oil to that recipe Orval, yummy! But I have to admit, it tastes better with chicken! LOL Put some bacon on 'em Wayne, then I bet you'll eat them! heartstrings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
