I found these little babies at the Union Square farmers' market, they are
dainty, purple with white stripes and a lot smaller than the normal sized
eggplant. It's called the Fairytale eggplant. They were cut in half, cooked
with a bit of sea salt, garlic and olive oil, and served at a market stall. I
then had a sample taste, and then another...yumm! It is full of flavour,
sweet and delicious, the skin is very tender and not bitter at all.
Sauteed in fresh garlic, you may add them on to your favorite brown rice
pasta, sprinkle with fresh parsley or works well with soba noodles, dash of
nama shoyu or tamari and grated ginger.
Chinese medicine claims that using eggplant can help aid in digestion and
can help enhance immunity. Although not recommended to indulge if you
are allergic (joint pain might be a sign of an allergy).
