Category: Vegetables
Eggplants of various types and colors that vary with the available harvest, cultivated in Puerto Rico. As a guide, 1 large eggplant or 2 small ones equal about 1 pound. Their soft flesh works well in many dishes: excellent prepared parmesan-style, fried in slices, added to stews for body, or even grilled with a little olive oil and salt. If frying, salting the slices first and letting them sweat helps remove excess moisture so they absorb less oil. Store at room temperature for a couple of days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
