Eggplant Fritters-Oh My!

Not only do we enjoy our farm-fresh produce weekly,

but our friends who grow the goodies

also share great recipes with us

for preparing some delectable dishes.

Here's one of them Faye shared with us this week.

Eggplant is peeled and diced.

Steaming it in a steel basket takes only about 20 minutes.

Breadcrumbs, diced onions and a few spices are mixed together.

(I didn't have Lawry's, so I used my own favorite seasonings.)

2 beaten eggs wait their turn to join the fun!

All ingredients are placed in a bowl and gently blended.

We pan-fry until golden brown on both sides.
