Since one week every second or third day I can harvest wonderful eggplants. Lucky me! :-)

The eggplant, aubergine, or brinjal (Solanum melongena) is a plant of the family Solanaceae (also known as the nightshades) and genus Solanum. It bears a fruit of the same name, commonly used as a vegetable in cooking. As a night-shade, it is closely related to the tomato and potato and is native to India and Sri Lanka.

I love berenjenas, as they are called in Spanish. Recently I discovered the following recipe I would like to share with you. It's easy and delicious!

You can serve these crumbed and grilled eggplant slices for example with Guacamole. Yummy!

2 tb olive oil
salt
1 small sprig of rosemary, chopped
