What is this vegetable?

We got this in our CSA today…what IS it and any suggestions on how to use it?

Smooth finish, and about the size of a softball.

A late season white eggplant?

Same as any other eggplant but a different color? So…I can make eggplant parm this weekend??

[abasket]

I can’t see why not to make the parm!

Thanks everyone.

White eggplant. I grew these last year!

Hmm, never thought of that (with a white eggplant). Let us know how it turned out!

The skin is usually tougher and the “flesh” is more dense, which makes it better for grilling vs a regular eggplant.

Thanks. No one here will eat grilled eggplant. I’ll peel before I make the eggplant parm.

It will make a terrific Baba Ganoush… or addition to a moussaka (think Greek, Israeli, any of the Mediterranean cuisines…)
