A somewhat unusual, original eggplant recipe will appeal to many. Something like mushrooms, but more tender, with a piquant spice and an amazing aroma, they are good both as an independent snack, and in combination with meat and various side dishes. It's not difficult to cook them, but you should definitely try them.
