    Savory Braised Eggplant with Anchovies

    Appetizers, Salads, Sides

    I’ve made this eggplant recipe twice this week and MY GAWD. Gotta share because it’s that good (and my friends keep bugging me for it) Eggplant haters, know, I know, eggplant is slimy, but I promise this one literally melts in your mouth like butter (in a non-slimy way ?) ⠀

    ⠀
    The secret ingredient is anchovies, which makes everything better. Some of my friends claim to hate anchovies, and I’m forever sliding them into recipes like this one and they’re always like whoa, what’s the secret ingredient? It’s anchovies. Give them a try LOL They’re perfectly salty and packed with flavor. I’ve enjoyed this dish with salmon/shrimp/rice noodles/rice..it can literally go with anything.
