I make eggplant parmigiana but I swap in chicken or veal and throw away the eggplant. Much better.

my father would put it on the grill untill the skin really puckered and would then scoop out the soft flesh, mix it up in a bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper, little garlic powder, sometimes some tahini and make his mother's version of baba ganoush...only his parents were from Romania and called it something very different, something like putlajan,
But it made for a healthy and tasty dip.

I wanted to list eggplant and zucchini but when I did a little research (aka “Googling”), found out that both are considered fruits. And tomatoes are technically berries. So does that mean supermarkets have been putting those 3 in the wrong section of the Produce Department?

Sometimes the ability to fact-check takes the fun outta stuff. 🤦 🤔

There is always the classic Italian favorite too, Eggplant Parmesan

So the innards in the eggplant is what we would be targeting. Hmmm.
