Easy And Quick Cooking

A dish from Java

The eggplants from my garden have been great.  I did a verity of cooking with them.  From Javanese cooking, South East Asia, Italian, and more.  They are very versatile vegetables.  I cooked a delicious vegetarian dish from Java: Oseng Oseng.   It is straightforward and very quick to prepare.  Recipe to share!
