TASTEBUD ADVENTURE CHALLENGE 2017 - EGGPLANT

Kroger had very pretty eggplants on sale for 99¢ so I decided to try one as part of my TAC2017.  For those who haven't tried it - eggplant is a fibrous, somewhat starchy, vegetable with very little taste on it's own.

It can be used as a lasagna noodle, baked in a parm - I thought I would treat it like a squash...recommendations said slice, salt and rest before cooking...so I did.

Then I layered it with FF Cottage Cheese, spinach, spaghetti sauce and mozz cheese - kinda like lasagna rounds.

RESULT:  It was okay.  I ended up eating a few pieces and then the topping of the rest over the next few days.  For me - it isn't something I would buy again - not bad, just not something interesting.
