My, what a BIG eggplant that was. . . Seriously, that puppy was huge! It arrived in Los Poblanos harvest box. It and the watermelon were eying each other from opposing corners of the box trying to decide who was badder. The other vegetables just tried to hide behind each other and hoped for the best.
It hung out for several days. Honestly, what do you do with an eggplant the size of a cantaloupe? The problem is complicated by the consideration that I sort of don’t really like eggplant. Granted, if there are enough bread crumbs, cheese and marinara sauce, I can handle it just fine, thank you. But, there isn’t enough breading on the planet to accommodate this monster. I speculated about ratatouille, but, alas, had no zucchini. Finally, I settled on this: this.
Since the thing was so monstrous, I doubled most of the other ingredients, but it really needs more spices. It has a hint of savoriness, but could use more oomph. However, I live in New Mexico and we eat green chile for breakfast, so take that under advisement. Incidentally, the people who program the spell-check must be Texans, because chile and chili are two VERY DIFFERENT things.
Anyway, it was a satisfactory deployment of the eggplant bomb.
