It's eggplant season! 🍆 I rarely cook eggplant, I don't remember having eaten eggplant with my parents. It's a vegetable that I don't think is very popular. As I received this vegetable in my SecondLife basket, I had to brainstorm and find a recipe that was going to please me.
I finally decided to roast the eggplants in the oven and eat them in a buddha bowl. 🥗 I liked it so much that I ate it all week long!
