Mrs Faz loves aubergines. I am in trouble if a week passes without aubergine appearing on her plate. Any recipes would be welcome.
Tonight I am going to cook slices of aubergine on the griddle. When cooked, top them with some thick cream (I want to use up the pot). Then put on a sauce made of harissa, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice and coconut powder. Finally top everything with some crushed peanuts.
I hope Mrs Faz can taste the aubergine loaded with all that.

We like a simple dish of grilled fish with grilled eggplant. Or a grilled eggplant and feta 'sandwich'. I've also done a layered eggplant and mozzarella dish in the oven.

I hope Mrz Faz liked it, Baz. It sounds so delicious! I normally just grill eggplant with olive oil or roast it, scoop out the flesh, mash and mix in olive oil. I do also throw it into pasta sauce or stir frys but that isn't the best use of it.

I love aubergines, too!
at this time of year seldom a week passes without a whole baked/grilled aubergine is enjoyed in this house.
As for recipes... I turn to Mediterranean or Indian cuisines for inspiration.
melitzanasalata, aubergine baked with tomatoes, various brinjal curries... (the latter are no doubt in Mrs Faz's repertoire)

I do also throw it into pasta sauce or stir frys but that isn't the best use of it. It was extraordinary that with all those strong flavours it tasted of very little. Maybe everything cancelled everything out. I am going to have to do some experimenting. |

i throw aubergines/eggplant in thai green curry I have often wondering about throwing ingredients into the pan when cooking and now I shall have the definitive answer from you: How far away must I stand when I throw the aubergines? |

Baz! tsk tsk... an armlength away should suffice. it's delicate work - not a question of strength.

think of it as a gentle toss
an underhand one

What worries me is when the recipe says to toss the rice into the pan of boiling water. I find it goes all over the cooker.

baz
you are too strong
try a softer toss
maybe a lob?

Tzarine, I have been practising throwing it over my shoulder. I have found this works best if I boil the rice first then get people to stand behind me with their mouths open.
