Eggplant is popular in most regions of the Southern United States. Thomas Jefferson, was the first to experiment with several types of eggplant in his Virginia garden, and it was he who introduced eggplant to The United States. Of Asian origins, the first types ended up being extremely sour tasting, but through cultivation and crossbreeding the flavor has greatly improved.

Marinated Zucchini with Bow Ties
Garden-fresh zucchini and tomatoes make a beautiful pasta, perfect for a warm summer night’s dinner. It can be served hot or at room temperature, either for four as a main course or for eight as a side dish – with grilled chicken, for instance.

Zucchini, Zucchini…I think I planted too much of it…again! Last year we ate Zucchini bread until we were sick of it, but I still planted more.
So this year in addition to the “normal” recipes of frying, grilling, baking (especially good if you use it like you would Eggplant Parmesan, but that is another recipe), or just slicing and putting it into a salad, I decided I would try something new. Since my love of food includes all things chocolate I decided to try this recipe. I have only one thing to say..it is a hit!
