Eggplant Recipe Tip -
Smaller Eggplant

The seeds of an eggplant are generally bitter, so if you choose an eggplant that is smaller in size, you will generally have an eggplant that is not as bitter as a larger one because it has less seeds in it. By soaking the eggplant in salted water before you cook, you can eliminate most of the bitterness.

Eggplant Recipe Tip -
Readymade Pizza Crust

Readymade pizza crust refers to Boboli style pizza crust that have been premade and prebaked. Available in most supermarkets, you can usually find a variety of options in terms of flavored dough and thickness.
