15 MOSTLY EASY AUBERGINE RECIPES By Elizabeth Harris All Rights Reserved 2015 Elizabeth Harris

Table of Contents
Introduction
Aubergine is the very English name for the vegetable known in the U.S.A., Canada and Australia as the "eggplant". It is related to both the tomato and the potato although it is species of nightshade. The plant has coarse leaves and white to light purple flowers with yellow stamens. The fruit is usually a deep purple color with a spiny stem. The texture of the white flesh is meaty and it contains many soft seeds. On being cut the flesh rapidly turns brown.

It is classified botanically as a berry and although edible it has a bitter taste because it is also related to the tobacco plant and contains nicotine. The bitterness can be drawn from it by liberally sprinkling the flesh with salt. The fruit can be large and egg shaped or thin and slender.. The larger Asian varieties can weigh up to a kilogram (2.25 pounds) although there is a wide variation in size and shape from the bulbous bigger fruit to the slender cucumber shaped kinds and smaller round varieties. The color can also be white or green instead of the normal deep purple. The color variation is usually in the smaller species of the plant.

Aubergine is cooked in Asia, where it is also known as brinjal, Europe, U.S.A. and Australia. It is most often fried, roasted or stewed but it can also be baked. The two most famous recipes are Ratatouille and Moussaka both of which are given here.
