How do you serve aubergines.What do they taste like?

Answer 1

I usually roast them with courgettes, peppers, baby sweecorn, tomatoes, onions and serve them as a side dish.
They are a bit boring on their own.

Answer 2

Not a strong flavour in themselves. I slice from top to tail around 1cm thick leaving the stalk attached. Fan it out and between the slices put really thin slices of goat cheese or any other favorite cheese. Pour a little olive oil over and bake until the point of a knife passes easily through. Serve with a good sprinkling of pepper and a crisp green salad.
Works as a main course for any vegetarian friends that eat cheese (so not vegan) and can be cooked at the same time as most meat courses take so if only serving one or two veggie meals the pressure is off in the kitchen. People often make such a deal out of serving vegetarian meals that they can make the average vegetarian feel guilty for their lifestyle choice, when generally they are the easiest people to cater for and as a meat eater myself I know it is good to eat a vegetarian diet at times.

Answer 3

Well, my mum usually makes aubergines with chili. Slice the aubergines into small pieces and shallow fry them until they become soft and brownish. Then set them aside. Chop some red onions, garlic, red chili and ginger and blend them together until they become slightly paste-like with some red chili chunks in it. Then, heat some oil in a pan and cook the mix until you can smell the aroma. Add some salt and tiny bit of sugar to taste. When it's cooked (the chili colour becomes darker) then add the cooked aubergines and mix them well. Serve them with boiled rice. It is very nice and healthy. Good luck!

Answer 4

You can serve them in a moussaka.
As part of the ingredients for a lovely refreshing ratatouille.
Slice and grill them in olive oil and layer with thinly cut beef tomataoe bake in the oven coated with a rich mature cheddar cheese sauce.
Aubergines are an aqueous vegetable so they hold a lot of water and once cut need to be salted to get rid of a lot of the liquid they produce.
They are very nice to eat and similat to courgette.

Answer 5

The best way I've found is the classic Italian style.
Slice them quite thinly and fry in olive oil till they go almost clear and release the excess oil then put them in a dish cover them in tomato sauce ( Spaghetti sauce ) sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Can be eaten hot or cold and tastes more or less of what you cook them with.
Yum.

Answer 6

My favourite aubergine dish is to fry some onion and garlic, add chopped aubergine, sliced mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, passata, dried herbs and vecon, bring to the boil and simmer for about 30 minutes and serve with vegetables or pasta/rice.

Answer 7

If you select small ones, they're not bitter and you don't have to salt them.

The Italian way of serving them is to split them in half, do the same with some bell peppers and onions and roast them in a little olive oil.

Answer 8

I serve them on plates they taste like eggplants

Answer 9

fruit grows on woods or vines and fruit and vegetables grow in the earth.

Slice em up thick, cover in salt, leave 30 mins. wash off salt. bake, or add to ratatouille. taste ok, not a lot of flavour
