I also preserve them with oil, balsamic, garlic and thyme. <br />Ninaschenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163770016423292034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-55628423227089309422017-07-15T12:39:37.069+01:002017-07-15T12:39:37.069+01:00That's always the trouble with growing your ow...That's always the trouble with growing your own in a good season.

I see by your picture that your aubergines are our eggplants. I like the sound of the word aubergines better. Years ago, we also grew them and just one plant would grow enough for a few families.
