Eggplant

This eggplant is the easiest one to find, but the kids have had about a half dozen different kinds of eggplant so far.

After washing and removing the skin, I slice them really thin. This breaks up the strands of fiber so I can just fork-mash them after cooking. They eat it with either a carb or a protein (lentils, garbanzo, bean mix etc.) and a little salt.

The twins flip-flop with eggplant - somedays they ask for more and somedays it's gag-inducing at the very first spoonful.

Baba ghannouj

I already use hummus and tahini sometimes to make the twins meals interesting. Another introduction is this roasted baba ghannouj I picked up recently. The kids have had egg plant cubes already so this was no big deal for them - moreover I split a tablespoon of it between the two of them.
