In Praise of Versatile Eggplant<\/h2>\n

Whether it\u2019s called eggplant or an aubergine, it\u2019s got to be one of the most versatile vegetables out there. What I love about it is its ability to soak up the flavors of the ingredients that it\u2019s paired with. It\u2019s kinda like the tofu of the veggie world. It\u2019s terrific pureed in Middle Eastern style baba ganoush, Italian Melanzane alla parmigiana<\/a>, saut\u00e9ed and served in a rich pasta sauce, in a spicy Indian curry<\/a>, or even roasted in the oven and served in a simple bowl of pure goodness like one. So versatile and delicious, I could eat eggplant every day and all it would do is make me perfectly happy.<\/p>\n
