I'm watching Rick Stein's 'Venice to Istanbul' and he's purreeing aubergines.
Apart from the fact it looks disgusting, does anyone actually like aubergines?
Perhaps I've never had then cooked properly but I make Moussaka minus them and use courgettes instead.

To me they taste revoltingly slimy........

The best ones are picked fresh from DD's veggie garden

Best thing about Rick Stein was his little dog Chalky. RIP

Irresistible aubergine recipe I've used for years is 'Imam Bayaldi' from the good old Readers Digest Cookery Year, not slimy but meltingly succulent. Lots of versions on line but think this one is the best if you have access to the book.

My OH marinates aubergines sliced in quartet inch slices, with a mixture of garlic turmeric for at least an hour or two. Then lightly fry. He enjoys them, far too fatty for my liking!!

Just had baked aubergines stuffed with minced lamb, onions tomatos and coriander and cumin etc, topped with crumbled feta cheese - delicious! Bit like deconstructed moussaka I suppose, without the bechamel sauce.
