Aubergine

Cooking Tips:

• Roast or Grill – Slice, brush with olive oil, and cook until golden and tender for a smoky, caramelised flavour.
• Classic Comforts – Perfect for Mediterranean favourits like ratatouille, moussaka, or baba ganoush.
• Quick & Easy – Dice and stir-fry with garlic, tomatoes, and herbs for a simple but delicious pasta topping.
• No Need to Salt – Older varieties were bitter and needed salting before cooking, but most modern aubergines are naturally mild.

Did You Know?

Aubergines are technically a fruit (just like tomatoes and peppers!) and belong to the nightshade family. They’re brilliant at absorbing flavours, making them a fantastic base for spiced dishes, curries, and slow-cooked stews. Whether you’re charring them over a flame or roasting them low and slow, they bring a wonderful depth to any meal.
