  1. Smoky, creamy and beautifully balanced, Baba Ganoush is a classic Middle Eastern dip. Perfect as an appetizer or part of a mezze spread, it pairs wonderfully with warm bread or fresh vegetables!

  2. “Millionaires” #eggplant. If you look closely you can see the bag-like fruit. They are palm sized and wonderful to eat. #garden #plant #SanDiego #gardening #PlantDaddy #plantdad

  3. Once dominated by cucumbers next to them, our eggplants are doing very well, started producing again for our miso soup 😋
    I might pickle them next time 🤔

  4. Some more hasselback aubergine action, this time from Star Infinite Food - the recipe isn't listed on her website so I'll paste it here:

    "HASSELBACK TOMATO-BUTTER EGGPLANT WITH BASIL & FETA! Guyssss this might be the best thing I have eaten in weeks!"

    Eggplant:
    1 medium eggplant
    Salt
    Olive oil
    1/2 cup basil leaves
    1/3-1/2 cup feta

    For the butter (you will not need all of this, but you do not want to have too little):
    6 tbsp softened butter
    6 tbsp tomato paste
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1/2 tsp pepper

    Toppings:
    Sunflower seeds
    Feta
    Chopped basil

    1️⃣Preheat the oven to 425.
    2️⃣Make the butter. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix to make a paste. If it is not combining, heat in the microwave for 15 seconds.
    3️⃣Place the eggplant on a cutting board with two chopsticks on either side of the eggplant halves and make thin slices throughout. Repeat for the second half.
    4️⃣ Make the eggplant. Drizzle some olive oil on the bottom of an oven safe pan. Open the eggplant into a fan, add some salt, then add a smear of the butter to each layer. Next, add basil leaves throughout, every 3-4 layers. Repeat with the feta cheese. Place each half next to each other on the pan, then cover and bake for 35 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 and cook another 20-25 minutes, until the eggplant is tender. This may vary depending on the thickness.
    5️⃣Top with the basil, feta and sunflower seeds.

  5. Think I need to take a trip to Brown Munde in Kilmarnock to try these aubergine fritters (this is their photo from Facebook)...

  6. Aubergines belong to the nightshade family. Because of this, it was once thought the fruit was poisonous. It isn't, but eating large amounts of the leaves and flowers of the plants would be extremely bad for you.

    10 things you might not know about aubergines:

  7. Madhur Jaffrey’s recipes from the 40th anniversary edition of Indian Cookery including aubergine slices in two sauces (Baigan borani)

    "Boranis are vegetable salads – often made with leafy greens such as spinach, or with aubergine slices, as here – covered with a seasoned yoghurt sauce. They are loved from Turkey to Iran to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Chopped tomatoes or a tomato sauce may be added and that is what I have done. The two sauces make for a gorgeous, mouthwateringly good dish."

  8. A wee before-and-after of roasted aubergines (and some lesser vegetables) adding homemade Za'atar spice mix.

    It's cumin, coriander and sesame seeds which are toasted and then ground before adding thyme and sumac. Equal measures of everything depending how much you want to make and then a smidge of chilli flakes at the end.

  9. Result of the #vegan tajine recipe research from the other day - difficult to photograph without the camera steaming up but the pile of roast #aubergine on top is a feast for the eyes, not just the tastebuds

  10. Checking out the #vegan options on the new Mosset Tavern menu in Forres, Scotland. Excitingly, one of the mains is #aubergine-based: a moussaka served with garlic buns and salad

  11. Nice surprise on the specials board today in a community centre cafe: #vegan salad box with #aubergine curry, sag aloo, biryani-style rice, green salad and spiced cauliflower

  12. Successful trip to the beach with #vegan falafel and aubergine tacos and some aubergine imam for later! 😋

  13. Looking for a tajine #recipe for tonight and came across this collection from Ottolenghi of Turkish-style #aubergine recipes

    "It’s known as the ‘poor man’s meat’, but I prefer to think of aubergine as the ‘vegetarian’s rich treat’" - wise words, Yotam!

  14. Further to yesterday's post, someone sent me a recipe and video for hasselback #aubergine

    tastemade.co.uk/videos/hasselb

    And the Minimalist Baker has a good recipe for #vegan parmesan (though it might be a bit try for this particular dish)

  15. Interesting concept from @simonhammann - the hasselback #aubergine! Much thicker slices than I remember for potatoes (so much less 'hassle' perhaps). Not sure how successful an experiment it was but it's definitely a fun idea and he said it tasted good

  16. Google Memories reminding me of my favourite dish from my favourite Indian restaurant that closed down over COVID... Brinjal bhaji
