California Farm Aubergine Skin Salmon Rolls California Farm Aubergine Skin Salmon Rolls
We grow Black Beauty eggplants ( aubergines) and Ping Tung, a purple eggplant. Black Beauty is egg shaped and delicious as a meat substitute, and Ping Tung is cucumber shaped and tastes mild like fish.We cut the skins in 5” long strips, oil them and dry them rolled up to save the skins for stuffing. The dried strips become more flavorful, like sundried tomatoes. Soaking dried skins in warm water makes them flexible again. They make great stuffed salmon rice rolls in parmesan cheese sauce.#GoldenApron -
