Baby Aubergines: A Delightful Addition to Your Culinary Repertoire!
Baby aubergines, also known as baby eggplants, are a petite version of the larger, more common eggplant. Despite their small size, these tiny vegetables pack a punch when it comes to flavour and nutrition. They have a slightly sweeter and more delicate taste compared to their larger counterparts, making them a versatile ingredient in various cuisines around the world.
Cooking Suggestions: How to Cook Baby Aubergines?
Roasting: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the baby aubergines in half lengthwise, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper and your favourite herbs or spices. Roast for about 20-25 min.
Grilling: Slice the baby aubergines into rounds or lengthwise halves. Brush them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are charred and tender. Grilled baby aubergines have a wonderful smoky flavour that pairs perfectly with grilled meats.
Stir-Frying: Cut the baby aubergines into bite-sized pieces and stir-fry them in a hot pan with some oil, garlic and your choice of vegetables or protein. Cook until the aubergines are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serving Suggestions: What to Pair Baby Aubergines with?
Mediterranean Mezze Platter: Serve roasted or grilled baby aubergines alongside hummus, tzatziki, olives and pita bread. The creamy dips complement the smoky flavour of the aubergines, creating a harmonious combination of textures and flavours.
Curries and Stews: Add stir-fried or roasted baby aubergines to your favourite curry or stew recipes. They pair particularly well with lamb, chicken or chickpeas in hearty and flavourful stews.
Pasta and Grain Salads: Incorporate grilled or roasted baby aubergines into pasta salads, grain bowls or quinoa salads for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
