Eggplant is such a funny veg. You either love it or hate it, and the haters often times have never eaten it. Every year, I grow at least six plants in the garden to use as an alternative to noodles.
If you haven't ever tried eggplant, look for ones that have shiny skin and are heavy for their size. Avoid eggplants that are too large, they will have inedible seeds and the skin will be thick. I try to keep my eggplants less than 8 inches long, and often don't have to peel them at that size.
This recipe for Eggplant Rolls, is fantastic! Many of the ingredients can be purchased at the farmers market together.
