Eggplant is a very healthy vegetable, which not every housewife knows how to cook deliciously and therefore not everyone can love and appreciate it. So it turns out that the eggplant in our beds is not very popular. By the way, eggplant is a dietary vegetable, which is suitable for those who adhere to proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. However, in diet recipes, it is advisable not to pour a lot of oil, because the eggplant has the ability to absorb oil in unlimited quantities. The use of eggplant is very wide: it can be fried, boiled, stewed, baked and rolled into jars. Almost all vegetables that we used to see on the table go well with eggplant and therefore it will be very simple to love it.
