Introduction to the main vegetable in our dish:
The eggplant is a type of nightshade vegetable that belongs to the same family as tomatoes and peppers. It is grown primarily for its edible, fleshy seeds, which are used in many recipes to add a meaty texture often associated with chicken or turkey. It is a common misconception that the eggplant is part of the potato family. But it should not be confused with tomatoes because they belong to different families. Eggplant is available in two types: Asian eggplant and European eggplant Asian varieties are longer and thinner than European eggplant, which tend to be shorter and fatter.
