Aubergine

Kippsy

Yikes, have got an Aubergine in my organic box this week!

Have previously said no to Aubergine as i don't know what to do with it, thought I had some recipes for it but now I can't find any! Have looked at recipes and mega thread, also done a search for "aubergine"... Nothing!!

So if anyone can help, please do... I am sure you can do something with it where by you end up with like aubergine mince, does anyone know what I am talking about? only one medium ish aubergine to use.

Thank you in advance!

Cut it into large chunks (cube shaped) and roast with a load of other veg (onions, garlic, courgettes, tomatoes, mushrooms & some herbs eg rosemary ) then serve with chunky bread or pasta.

This is yummy and we eat this a lot. You can then use any left-over veg the next day, just re-heat it and put it in a pitta bread.

I seem to recall a yummy chicken and aubergine recipe in the index files somewhere that Judi originally posted

Yoga Girl - I often do roast veggies as you describe and mix with a chunky pasta and dot some feta cheese over to melt in MMMmmmm :drool:

Or slice lengthways into thin strips and brush with olive oil and place on griddle along with some slices of haloumi cheese. When cooked make a sandwich with two slices of aubergine and a slice of cheese between

Slice 1 cm thick slices, fry them then put on absorbent paper to get rid of extra oil - make a few layers using fried slices covered with tomato sauce (like a pasta sauce, made with onion tomatoes and basil) and sprinkle grated parmesan on each layer. Bake in hot oven for 20 minutes or until crisp on top (grated parmesan on top as well!)

Voila, melanzane alla parmigiana (aubergine parmigiana) a true delicacy!

We've got an aubergine plant that I bought at a village show. It's had a flower on it but no sign of aubergine. Will it produce one this year or when?

I can't wait to try these delicious recipes you're all posting.

I had aubergine for dinner tonight. I usually roast it with some corgette, onion and red pepper, sprinkle some mixed herbs on top and drizzle over some oil. Yum. Eat with pasta, bread or even rice. Chesse on top is yummy.

Any left overs could be used cold in a sandwich with humous. Yum.

I also chop up and saute with other veg, add a tin of tomatoes for a lovely ratatouille (spelling???). Freezes well and can be added to - some crispy bacon is always nice.

Alternatively, they can be stuffed although I have never done this. Also, if you roast it whole, you can scoop out the soft insides and use as a dip. I think that's a Jamie Oliver thing!

let us know how you get on.
