I think slow roasting an aubergine is the best way to cook them as it makes the flesh so juicy and tender. They can also take on flavours really well so and spices really whether it’s Middle Eastern, Indian. Mediterranean etc. I went Asia this time with tangy miso and tamarind all sweetened up with…

Leftover Roast Lamb, Aubergine and Parmesan Bake
Lamb roast has to be one of my favourite dinners, but I don’t like the leftovers cold and I hate wasting food. I also like a parmigiana and thought lamb goes really well with aubergine. This recipe is really yummy and great way to use up leftovers. Ingredients 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 1…
Zaalouk with Crispy Halloumi and Olives
I wanted to try a different recipe other than baba ganoush with charred aubergine. I found this recipe on the olive magazine website. It has all those middle eastern flavours I love, smokiness from the spices and aubergine, sweetness from the tomatoes and freshness from the coriander and lemon. I used a spoon to pile…
Pomegranate Poussin on a Roasted Vegetable and Preserved Lemon Couscous with a Cumin and Pomegranate Dressing Recipe
I’m loving pomegranate molasses at the moment and it works so well as a marinade. It adds a sweet tangy flavour and makes the skin go lovely and crispy with loads of flavour. I ate the legs with my hands and the caramelised outside and chilli was so tasty and the meat was so juicy…

Skinny Veggie Aubergine, Lentil and Mozzarella Bake Recipe (under 300 kcals)
We are still keeping our calories down 2 days a week and I came across this recipe. I didn’t think we would be able to have cheese but light mozzarella isnt too high in calories. You replace the mince with lentils and I know it sounds strange but it still tastes really meaty and it…
Spiced Roast Monkfish on a Smokey Aubergine Puree with an Olive and Caper Sauce Recipe
This dish was really tasty. I really like Tom Kerridge as a chef and he really didn’t disappoint with this recipe. The sweet meaty monkfish works so well with the smoky aubergine and the salty spiced sauce. I enjoyed every mouthful and would definitely make this again. One of our favourite dishes is the lemon…
Meatless Meze Recipes – Smokey White Bean and Roasted Aubergine Dip
So my 2nd recipe for our picnic is this divine dip. This was so tasty and the flavour from the eggplant really added a smoky depth to the sweet cannellini beans. Everything is then uplifted from the herbs and lemon juice. If you fancy a change from hummus please give this dip a go. We…
