New and Ripe Royalty in our Urban Garden. “Solanum Aethiopicum” is not a miniature #pumpkin. “Melanzana Rossa Di Rotonda” is a member of the Eggplant Family. Other names and similar varieties include African Eggplant, Bitter Tomato, Aubergine Écarlate, Nakati Etíope, Ethiopian Eggplant and the Garden Egg. Saving seed cause I’m thinking this is now on the “Forever Grow” list. Befitting its heritage as a recent (1940s) immigrant to Southern Italy, I plan to preserve it thinly sliced in olive oil layered with our Homegrown Rosemary and Garlic. We’ll let it marinate for a month. Presto! Antipasto!
