EGGPLANT
Whenever anyone is to name their favorite vegetable you always here the same old names : carrots, potatoes, broccoli, spinach... BORING. I am writing this entry to advocate the best and most underrated vegetable out there, eggplant! First off it has one of the coolest shapes I've ever seen a veggie have, so you know it must be exciting. Then, its color is so hip that designers have made "eggplant" a color! More importantly, eggplant tastes great and there are so many ways to prepare it. My favorite kinds of food are Italian and Mediterranean, which both have DELICIOUS eggplant dishes. Eggplant Parmesean is heaven, it's a great alternative to meat and fills you up just as fast. I am no chef, but because it's so simple to make I can easily make it at home with little preparation. Then there's a little more daring dish, baba ghanoush! It is a Middle Eastern dish similar looking to hummus. The main ingredient is, of course, delicious grilled eggplant. YUM! After the first bite with pita bread this dip is addicting.
I hope you are all a little more enlightened on my very favorite veggie!
