Eggplants are everywhere in our garden at the moment. I've have had many suggestions on ways to cook them but this is my go too. It is so easy and you can add whatever other greens you have like zucchini or broccoli. This recipe goes great with meat, eggs or zucchini noddles. Little Miss E enjoys the zucchini noodle option, what won her over was that it smells just like pasta when it's cooking. My other favourite is to batter sliced eggplant in egg and almond meal and then fry.
