Beautiful in its shiny dark purple color, but also mystical, the eggplant 14558 is known by many names and varieties, some of which are quite unenviable. For centuries, the eggplant is a terrible reputation and grown more as an ornamental plant than as a food source. Early eggplants were more bitter than cultivated varieties, and due to her family "nightshade," once considered 14558 it a poison. When Europeans 14558 first encounter with him labeling it with the label "mad apple" - the name of the Italian eggplant is preserved 14558 as Melanzane / Latin Mela insana, 14558 or "apple of madness" /. Botanically, the eggplant is a fruit, a close relative of the tomato, though cooking is used as a vegetable. and it is no coincidence that in some parts of the country is called eggplant. Over time, the eggplant is becoming one of the most important vegetables in oriental and Mediterranean cuisine for its unique taste, texture and spongy texture, and in India it is called "King of Vegetables". And more: eggplants are very low in calories and fat but rich in soluble fiber; contains good amounts of many of the major groups of B-complex 14558 vitamins (vitamin B5; B6, B1, B3); source of minerals / manganese, copper, iron and potassium / blue and purple skin - powerful anti-oxidants; will add folic acid, vitamins C and K. I love to recall the useful qualities of the products and their use thus seems more meaningful and targeted.
I've read that one likes or dislikes or eggplant - is, we are adoring. So I combined my look at these few familiar recipes for delicious and appetizing presence of aubergines our autumn table. We started with the famous:
3 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup chopped celery 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 red pepper, finely chopped 1 large eggplant, diced 1 h. OMAT e cup / cut / cup raisins 3 tablespoons capers hours. cup olives, kalamata, chopped

Add chopped tomatoes and raisins, reducing the power of fire to cook for 20 to 25 minutes until all vegetables are tender and water has evaporated.

And something easy and quick, tasty eggplant - in the original recipe is likened with humus, but ingredients not present typical Middle Eastern food pasta chickpeas or tahini / sesame 14558 /, so I still qualify as a dip, not that the name would some special meaning.
