Brinjal is a terrific vegetable to bring into your weekly cooking rotation. The bold flavour of Brinjal makes it a great choice for main dishes, side dishes, salads and even desserts. When grilled, Brinjal has a firm, satisfying texture, making it a popular substitute for meat in vegetarian dishes. Cut it up raw and toss it into every day stir-fries or stick it under the broiler with other vegetables to roast or grill.
