This is based on a fantastic dish at Yo Sushi. So fantastic in fact that I ate three of the dishes of them last time I went... It's zingy, fresh and delicious.
For 1-2 portions (depending on greed...) you need:
1 aubergine, cut into 0.5cm slices
1/8 cup sunflower oil
salt
4 tbsp soya sauce
3 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 clove garlic, crushed
Brush the slices of aubergine with the oil on both sides and sprinkle with a little salt. Roast in a hot oven for about 15-20 mins till tender and slightly browned. Turn over halfway through.
Meanwhile mix the dressing in a bowl. Once the aubergines are cooked places them in the dressing and allow to cool for the flavours to develop. Utterly unctiously fabulous.

Little Tortillas with Pisto
Another @deliciousmag recipe from their August edition…
For 4-6 people you need:
500ml sunflower oil
750g waxy potatoes, sliced lengthways
8 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp olive oil
75ml olive oil
1 large aubergine cut into 2cm dice
1 large onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
3 courgettes, diced
3 tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
Make the pisto by heating the olive oil in a pan with a lid. Cook the onion for about 10 mins and then add the aubergine. Cook for 10 mins then add the pepper. Cook for another 10 mins. Add the courgettes and tomatoes and garlic and season with salt. Cook for about an hour, covered, over a very low heat.
Heat the sunflower oil in a different pan and cook the potatoes till tender. Drain. Add the potatoes to the eggs and mix lightly. Pour into a non stick pan and cook gently. Leave to cool slightly once cooked. Cut into wedges and serve with the pisto. Lovely as part of a tapas feast.

Aubergine, Pepper and Red Lentil Curry (v)
This was featured in a top 10 veggie recipes list compiled by @deliciousmag And truly delicious it is too. The original recipe is available on their website. I've made a few tweaks, and think the lentil base will form a good basis for many a curry to come!
For 4 portions you need:
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp black onion seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
2/3 tube of Asda Balti curry paste
150g red lentils
600ml veggie stock
1 aubergine, cubed
1 green pepper, roughly diced
1/2 tsp chilli powder
3 tbsp veg oil for the aubergines and 1 tbsp oil for the curry
Begin by tossing the aubergine and pepper in the oil and chilli powder then roast in a hot oven for 30-45 minutes. Meanwhile sautee the onion in the oil for 10 mins. Add the mustard and black onion seeds and cook till the seeds pop. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more. Add the curry paste and cook out. Add the lentils and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, add in the peppers and aubergines, and cook for 20-30 mins. I like the lentils mushy but if you like them firmer then err on the shorter cooking side.
Serve with paratha, rice and tandoori quorn/tofu.

Zaalouk (v)
This is my favourite ever aubergine dish. It's so delicious it's hard to describe. Yes it is a but of a faff to make but OMG it is soooooooooo worth it! And the recipe makes loads so you can over indulge to your hearts content. If you have argan oil it makes all the difference, but I am not sure where you can buy it from here (suggestions gratefully received as I am down to my last 1/4 of a bottle!). If you can't get argan then good quality olive will do fine :)
For 4-6 portions you need:
2 large aubergines
6 tomatoes
1 large onion
5 cloves garlic
1 bunch corriander, chopped
1 bunch parsley, chopped
salt and pepper
2 large tbsp good quality harissa
juice 1 lemon
4 tbsp argan oil
4 tbsp olive oil
Begin by pricking the aubergines and roasting them in a hot (200 degrees) oven. Slice the tomatoes in half and place in a baking dish, drizzled with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Roast the toms and aubergine for 45 mins till soft. Meanwhile saute the onion in a pan with a little more olive oil.
Cut the cooked aubergines in half and scoop the flesh out of the skins. Chop roughly. Scoop the toms out of their skins and chop. Add both to the onions along with the oil the toms were roasted in.
Add the harissa and garlic and cook for about 5 mins. Add a little water if it looks too dry. Turn off the heat and add the corriander, parsley and lemon. Check the seasoning adding more lemon or salt if needed. Pour into a serving dish and pour over the argan oil. Serve with toasted pitta and olives. Close your eyes and imagine the sun on your face!
