If you past the eggplant basket in the produce section because you think cooking with the purple vegetable is akin to cooking for purple aliens, have no fear.
Mario Batali is here to answer all your questions about the plant so you can put something delicious like vegan eggplant parmesean on the menu for next week!
How can you tell if an eggplant is ripe?
“If it gets to the market, it’s generally ready,” Batali explains in the video.
“If you’re growing them yourself, eggplants tend to feel a little heavy for their size and have a full, smooth, dark shiny skin.”
Batali prefers to leave the skins on the eggplant when cooking with them but some prefer to peel it.
Tomato. Tomahto. We all have our preferences. Which way do you prefer?
