our first 4 eggplants went to eggplant parm and this was awesome it will be next. we love your channel and we are in Ft Pierce. The garden is huge and indeterminate tomato's are ready to croak soon, but the determinates are going strong, kale is starting to fizzle out, okra is coming along nicely, first round of zucchinis bit the dust with borers second round looking good, green beans look good, squash is looking good but fruits are small and will not get big weird, cucumbers finally setting good size, the heat is on and it will all be toast soon.
I mainly grow the long purple Asian eggplants. I like the flavor better and they have thin skins. I haven't picked any yet and my eggplant season won't kick into high gear for another month. My family's favorite dish is a Filipino eggplant salad. I'm not sure if there is an actual name for it. Grill the eggplant until tender and mash the eggplant. Add soy sauce, lemon, tomatoes, and onions. I prep everything (except eggplant) like I'm making pico de gallo but instead of salt , use soy sauce, and instead of lime, use lemon (or Calamondin/Calamansi if you can get it.) Really good with Filipino BBQ and rice.
I know you are always talking about how to Pronounce certain words so I thought I would chime in. lol The only reason I know how to pronounce Moussaka is from watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding 😂 It’s pronounced Moose -ah- KAH with the enunciation on the last syllable. Ive always wanted to try that dish. I’m definitely going to try it now. Thank you
