Sweet and Sour Eggplant Recipe

Sweet and Sour Eggplant RecipeI can say that this sweet and sour eggplant recipe is a non boring recipe. You can serve this eggplant with rice or serve it as one of tapas dish.

Tapas is a Spanish language meaning a wide variety of appetisers, or snacks. Tapas dishes can be served cold (such as mixed olives with cheese) or warm (such as chopitos, or other fried foods). It got similar concept as dimsum, where food is serve with small portions but very diverse. In Spain, the average restaurant tapas provide a minimum of 12 tapas menu. In some Central American countries, snacks like these are known as bocas. In Mexico, a similar dish called “Botanas.” Untuk versi bahasa kunjungi Resep Tumis Terong Bawang Putih (rasa asam manis).

There is a lot of competition with tapas throughout Spain. But there is only one national tapas competition that is celebrated annually in November. Since 2008, the city of Valladolid and the International School of Culinary Arts has celebrated International Tapas Competition for Culinary School. Various schools from all over the world come to Spain every year to compete to win the best tapas concept. Interesting isn’t it? Just imagine if you visit Spain at the same time as when they held the competition. Seriously I wish I could do that!!!

Anyway, back to this easy sweet and sour eggplant recipe, I suggested you roast the eggplant as if you fry them you might use more oil. Just a healthier option 🙂
