And yet, their historical homeland is not Europe, but India. There, they learned to grow and cook this vegetable one and a half thousand years ago. Only in the 15th century, eggplants first appeared on the European table. They were loved for their pleasant, slightly spicy taste and numerous useful properties. Eggplants are marinated for the winter, added to salads, fried, baked in the oven, stuffed with mushrooms or meat, used to make caviar and sauces. You can also quickly and easily make interesting snacks from them. We are sharing a recipe for one of them: we cook eggplants with sour cream and herbs, and the vegetable will taste like mushrooms.
