Re: Aubergines
Some of those ideas look very good KC2. Your 'wraps' sound interesting, zosh. I've bought another aubergine this week with the intention of trying the Spanish dish I meant to try with the last one, but life got in the way and it ended up in stir fry type concoctions .

Re: Aubergines
I went to see if Ching’s aubergine recipe from Saturday Kitchen was up on the BBC site and found that the current feature recipe collection is - aubergines!

And Ching’s recipe looks good

Re: Aubergines
I like them best when they are sliced longways into thin slices and then bbq’d or cooked on a very hot griddle so they have that lovely char. Then at one end place crumbled feta, herbs, chilli, pine nuts, diced roasted pepper from a jar etc…roll it up and eat immediately. We often do these as a starter when we have a bbq.

Whilst trying to find my recipe for Tormented Eggplant, I came across this thread from last year, with more ideas.

Re: Aubergines
Ah maybe if admins could merge the two then please ? I always think it’s nice to have one thread when it comes to a specific ingredient, especially when you’re searching on the forum for ideas

Blimey, I didn't know there was 7 different types of aubergine ... something else I have learned on this forum

Re: Aubergine
While clearing the kitchen I found a jar of “roasted eggplant”, which are little cubes of peeled aubergine in a light brine.
On opening the jar I found they are actually smoky, fire roasted, aubergine. They are very soft, I thought maybe I could put them in a kind of ratatouille, but they are too mushy. I suppose maybe a kind of shakshuka or I could make a baba ganoush type dip, though I could make enough dip for a large party (good way to do it if you don’t want to roast and peel your own aubergines)
Any other ideas? I have 510g

Re: Aubergine
Ha, baba ganoush for a large party indeed!
You should definitely use some of them for baba ganoush - could you bear to post a pic of them? If I see them in the Turkish shop I'd be very tempted to get them as I really don't ever do that grilling etc that gives peppers and aubergines that lovely smokey flavour (as I have said before)
If I can spot the same description in Turkish, that would be helpful!

Re: Aubergine
Mine are Selin brand, but Bodrum also make them, with a nice picture of an aubergine nestled in flames
To be found near the flame roasted peppers, olives, gherkins and other things in jars

Re: Aubergine
Would they maybe work Sue as part of a rice based stuffing for veg?

Re: Aubergine
Ooh, something like that might work
The aubergine, maybe some chickpeas, and rice or bulgar wheat

Re: Aubergine
Sounds good.
I sometimes add the sliced aubergine you get in antipasti jars to lamb curries. they pretty much melt into the sauce and give a lovely flavour so they might also work in a curry added towards the end.
