The versatility of an eggplant

Do you like Eggplant? It's versatile. Meaty, if your a vegetarian it's got to be a go to veggie for substance. Here I made like a "capanota salad" I guess with tomatoes, boccocino, kalamatta olives and basil. I dressed it simply with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Capanota is a dish with minced eggplant, olives and usually fresh herbs like parsley or basil and can also include celery. I just tweaked it a bit. I grilled the eggplant and added the mozz balls, tomatoes, fresh basil minced and kalamatta olives cuz I love kalamatta olives. It was served warm. Like a relish.

With the rest of the eggplant I fried it. And made a small eggplant parm. No pics. I ate it quickly.

Polenta Stick

This is a fine product.....if you like polenta cake as opposed to the porridge style. Just slice like a tomato and pan fry until crunchy. In butter or olive oil. Eat like that as a snack or with some marinara sauce.
