When GG's chef/owner Bobby Hellen stopped by to check out our rooftop garden, he literally had a field day with the eggplants, lemongrass, hyssop, and heirloom carrots at his disposal.With these as his main ingredients, he threw some ricotta and black vinegar into the mix to create a Mediterranean-meets-Chinese masterpiece, which, quite frankly, blew our minds.
It's a dish that has all of the complex goodness that you would expect from a culinary badass like Hellen, who managed to condense all of these ingredients into a perfect summer bite. Easy? Check. Healthy-ish? Check. More addictive than Stranger Things? Correct.RECIPE: Asian-Style Marinated Eggplant with Homemade Hyssop Ricotta
