Besides the great
classic recipes used for bigger eggplants, like ratatouille, caponata,
Baba ghanoush, grilling, stuffing or roasting them (which I love) I feel these dainty two - three inches nightshade gems deserve a more delicate approach.
The restaurant, which officially opened on Tuesday at 15110 S. LaGrange Road in Orland Park, features shawarma (marinated chicken or beef slow roasted on a rotating spit), falafel (deep fried mix of chick peas, herbs and spices), hummus,
baba ghanoush (similar to hummus but made with eggplant instead of chickpeas), chip - like French fries, pitas, salads, rice and fried chicken schnitzel, a German
classic also common in Israel.
