I don't have any recipes, but are they the small and slender? The skins are most likely bitterless and you don't have to peel them for any recipe. I grew gretel this year, but I haven't cooked it, yet. They are pretty, though. I washed and chopped the "fairy Tale" ones I grew and put them in foil packets with a little butter on the grill. They tasted like eggplant. Nothing fancy or weird, but don't cook them very long, they will get mushy very fast.
