Tuscan-style eggplants
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Who said eggplants are only for caviar or fried rings? Eggplants work wonderfully in stews, and they can also be baked, for example. Italians, who love both vegetables and baked goods, offer their original eggplant recipe, which I discovered during my trip to Italy. For making Tuscan-style eggplants, you can use ready-made ciabatta to simplify the cooking process. See the photo recipe below. The finished dish can be served immediately.
