see this little guy? Well, it turns out it's the best tasting eggplant in the entire world. It's an heirloom Italian eggplant called Prosperosa and it is so good it could make even eggplant haters decide it's their favorite food.
The skin is thin, the flesh bright white, the seeds surprisingly small considering the size of the fruit, and the taste is sweet and nutty and just darned good.
Steven and I had this conversation after I cooked it on our panini press (one of my favorite kitchen tools):
S-"What's on this eggplant?"
A-"Nothing."
S-"No, I mean what's on here that tastes so good."
A-"Nothing."
S-"Nothing?"
A-"Nothing."
S-"You mean it's just the eggplant that tastes like that?"
A-"Yup."
S-"Dang! That's good!"
