6 Healthy Recipe Ideas for Aubergine (Eggplant)
1. Tomato Baked Eggplant
This has to be the easiest way to cook eggplant. I usually just serve it as is for a healthy vegetable focused meal but you could mash it up and use as a sauce for pasta.

3. Grilled Baby Eggplant
My favourite way to cook those finger-shaped Japanese eggplant is to halve and grill on the BBQ. Sometimes I do them on their own, but I often cook them with other late Summer veg like red capsicum (bell peppers) and zucchini (courgettes). Wonderful served with hummus or this walnut and white bean puree.

If you can’t get your hands on baby eggplant, slice regular eggplant and use them instead.
4. Soup
My favourite eggplant soup is this White Bean & Eggplant Soup. It’s not the most beautiful creation but is deeply satisfying and well worth the effort.

5. Dip / Spread
No collection of eggplant recipes would be complete without the fabulous Lebanese dip / spread called babaganoush. Charring the eggplant can get a bit messy but it’s totally worth it for the intensely smoky flavour.

6. Eggplant ‘Steaks’
The rich silky texture of cooked eggplant make for a fabulous vegetarian alternative to regular steaks. Especially good served with these parmesan peas.
