Steamed Eggplant Salsa

Recipes

Folks often get intimidated by eggplant, and it doesn’t have to be challenging to make this purple beauty taste great. I love eggplant because it doesn’t have a strong flavor so you can jazz it up with other hotshots like basil and mint to liven it up a bit.

This dish is another Jamie Oliver inspiration. It goes super well with fish or as a side all on its own.

Enjoy!
