Baby eggplant
2011
Yesterday at work, our salad club regrouped after a couple weeks off and we had an awesome salad choices! For those of you who don’t know, me and a few of my friends at work bring a green, and a fruit or veggie to share and we make a huge salad. I brought cauliflower, blueberries, mixed greens, and green onions to share.
My friend Laura at work has a garden in her back yard and she brought stuff from her garden for people to take home. I got fresh cilantro, fresh basil, green beans and baby eggplant, and some of her homemade pesto – score!
To be honest, I’ve NEVER eaten eggplant in my life, so I thought trying the baby eggplant would be a good way to start. I decided to add it to my breakfast hash.
I had a leftover baked potato, so I chopped that up, added 3 links of turkey sausage, cut up the baby eggplant, some green onion and fried an egg to go with. I also added a little of Penzey Spices breakfast sausage seasoning, because that makes everything taste better!

So, those of you who’ve eaten baby eggplant before, what do you make with it?? I would love to hear about it

slice tiny lines with the tip of your knife, shove garlic cloves into the slits (LOTS of garlic, say a dozen cloves), grill (no prep, just pop on the grill) indirect heat for about half an hour. it is all mushy. cut in half length wise, scoop out the soft center (toss the skin), add a bit of lemon juice and puree…
one baby eggplant will make a great spread-dip for an appetizer

Thanks for the mention…I’m glad you enjoyed the veggies! I do want to clarify one thing…the pesto was made for me by my friend Elizabeth with stuff out of my garden. Even though I use her recipie for pesto, hers always tastes better : )
I’ve had eggplant maybe once and wasn’t impressed, but baby ANYTHING just sounds fun and I’m sure might even taste better. Good on ya for trying something new!

I haven’t had a baby eggplant before, would be fun to experiment. I do like the regular eggplant, love eggplant caviar.
