Most people think that eggplant comes in one color. They think of the large
classic Italian purple-eggplant. If that's you, then you will be surprised to learn that eggplant comes in other colors. In fact, there are all sorts of different eggplant varieties and some can be white and or even yellow!
On past blog posts, the
Brainy Gourmet has made the more traditional dishes like eggplant Parmesan, and eggplant lasagna or
roasted eggplant in garlic and olive oil with dried herbs and even some more avant-garde dishes with eggplant being diced
into goulash or stew.
The Japanese eggplant is purple but
it is a thinner longer teardrop than the Italian Santana variety which
can get more rotund and a dark black purple color. Japanese eggplant has a clearly distinct mushroomy
nutty rich flavor which makes it absolutely delicious roasted or grilled.
Its up to you to decide which is your favorite...
