I totally
hate the name eggplant.
It makes me
want to move to Quebec so I can call it la
plante aubergine.
But I do
love the darn things
AND I found
out that in some places they are called
Mad Apples!
Google
didn't specify exactly where those places are.
Sadly one
of them is not boring old Sobey's, where I shop.
Anyway, I found
this recipe by my favourite vegan cook,
Laurie Sandowski, in my mail
box this week and thought,
"YUM!"
Ms
Sandowski calls this recipe Imam Bayildi (Turkish Stuffed Eggplant)
I call it Mad
Apples in a Pot.

Mmmm....looks delicious, Francie! Thanks for sharing this. I love eggplant. Well, maybe not the name, but certainly the vegetable. There are so many ways to cook it, and so many delicious results. Last year I had some planted in my garden, and plan to do the same this year.
I agree -- aubergine sounds so much more romantic and appetizing!
I try to like eggplant, but just can't...the consistency of it :p Argh
I've never had much success anytime I've tried to cook with the 'mad apple!'
yum!! we grow it in the summer time..my kids even eat it!
I might have drooled a little. And I'm sooo making Turkish Stuffed Mad Apples for lunch or dinner today. This is sooo good.
Oh, and you can always choose to call eggplants by their Spanish name: berenjena. It sounds like something that should be danced, doesn't it? lol
Berenjena! Thanks Magaly - somehow it seems the right name, the name the plant sings under the full moon. (I've heard that is how some native South Americans identify certain plants).
I have always WANTED to like eggplant....in theory I do. In actuality I can't stand the stuff.
Yum..I totally love them..eating them..and growing them too..and the color is inspiring to me! Beautiful recipe. Love the mad apple name..how cool is that!!It's a keeper!
Wishing you a happy day!
