How should I cook my aubergine tonight.

[MichaelW2]

Slice about 5mm thick. Fry slowly at low temp for 20-30mins in olive oil.

This is a particular favourite of mine

Much tastier than houmous.

Brush thick slices with oil, season with sea salt, bake in a single layer on a tray in the oven until golden and crisp.
Yotam Ottolenghi has a nice recipe for a saffron yoghurt sauce to dress it with.

A lot of version of this, but it's prolly my fave aubergine dish...

Mine too! I spent a few months in Turkey and the things they do with and aubergines are amazing. I do various vege versions as well. I like the idea of saffron yogurt mentioned by CanucksTraveller, might give that a go. Basically you need a dressing with Middle Eastern spices or go down the Mediterranean route.

V envious! Turkish cuisine is just great.

I used to live in Hackney and always head over to Green Lanes when I'm back in town.

I misread a word in the thread title. And I'm an open minded sort, but I wouldn't fancy sh*gging an aubergine.

Don't. Throw in the bin. Aubergine has no place in any recipe.

Sorted, you may as well close the thread now.

Unless you've got a dog, that might appreciate the change of diet?

The only thing aubergine I’ve ever wanted is one of these. Wouldn‘t taste very good cooked though. Lol
