I thank you for submitting this to my food carnival. I've never heard of aubergines! We call them eggplants here in Texas. I love them and have also purchased them pre-grilled from our "organic" grocery store where they indeed cost a bit more than one would expect to pay for eggplant. Your recipe idea for aubergines w/tomato sauce is excellent. Thanks for sharing! Your website is fun and interesting. I thank you for submitting this to my food carnival.

Ideally you'd have frozen breaded slices of aubergine, but grilled works too. It's my favorite! why not use them in eggplant parmigiana/parmesean?

I make veggie lasagna in bulk and freeze it in ovenproof bowls. I don't do this too often though, as being me I have to do everything the hard way (making the bechamel etc.) and it takes ages to prepare... @Claire I love baba ghanoush! I could eat it all day long - and I had no idea that the recipe was so simple. Thanks for sharing. Miss T @Sally Do let me know how you get on!

@Claire I love baba ghanoush! I could eat it all day long – and I had no idea that the recipe was so simple. Thanks for sharing.

It's a great alternative to hummus (which is also quick, cheap and easy to make). Bake two whole aubergines in their skins in a 220 oven for about 30 mins. When they are cool enough to handle peel the skins away and whisk the inner flesh with some tahini paste (approx 2 tbsp), lemon juice (from about one lemon), garlic crushed to a paste with salt and some freshly milled black pepper - all the amounts should be adjusted to your taste. Serve with toasted pitta, or vegetables to dip. And it's thrifty too - aubergines in the market are only about £1.50 for two at the moment. Enjoy! my favourite recipe for aubergines is babaganoush.

We're not veggie in our house, but we rarely eat meat so I often make moussaka and lasagne with Vegemince or Quorn mince. Tastes just as good to me!
