I bought these interesting little jewels from an Asian teenager at the Farmer's Market today - but I have no idea what to do with them.

Hey Waterlily...happy Saturday! It sounds like you have become the proud owner of eggplants known as Thai Pea Eggplants/Thai Baby Eggplants/Kermit Eggplants.
They're harvested when the eggplants have a light green color and have a slight bitter taste and crisp texture. The eggplants are used whole in stir-frys and most delicious seasoned with curries and spices used in Thai cooking. They are also pickled and used in soups.
I think they would work in countless Thai dishes - and they sound delicious.
Here are some visuals for you - do you see them in this cast of eggplant characters?

Let us know what you end up making with them. Great find.
Smiles,

I'm also going to pull Shine/Ray in here and see if he can shed some more light and maybe share some recipe ideas with you. He's the man and he knows Thai. I'll be back.... :)

Over here they are pea aubergines, congratulations on getting your hands on them. Just throw them into a Thai green (or red) curry. Or any other curry or liquidy spicy dish (or send them to me!)

Hello Lily! I'm totally with my baby and CMx here! Vickie explained to me your post before I got on the computer to see it, and I was thinking they would be perfect in Thai green curry. I have a recipe for chicken with eggplant in Thai green curry that would be super for this! Anything with a good kick would be superb -- and, it would be easier to send them to me instead of CMx, since I live in the states ;-)
Have fun with those!
