I recently began going to our local open market. It has a small group of farmers selling locally grown fruits and vegetable. My favorite stand sells these amazing baby eggplants, that we just love. Our favorite way to prepare them is this Stewed Baby Eggplants. This make a great quick dinner. Serve with crusty bread, pasta or polenta.
