Begun-Zucchini Posto
 |
| Eggplant-Zucchini Posto |
Our neighbour across the street shared his bumper crop of Japanese eggplants and zucchini with us. The eggplants were young, seedless, tender and tasted so much better than what's available in the stores around here.
Posto are white poppy seeds (sometimes combine with mustard seeds), green chilies and salt to make a creamy sauce that goes with most vegetables, fish or chicken. It serves to thicken gravy and has a soporific effect, ideal for lunch, eaten before taking a nap.
Leaving the skin on the zucchinis prevents them from dissolving into mush while cooking and gives this dish a better colour.
