Aubergine
Long Description to add
Serves 2-3A Very Quick Moussaka
This brilliant moussaka will give your guests the impression that you've been cooking for hours, when in fact - thanks to a raft of ready-made ingredients - all you've done is a quick assembly job.
Serves 4-6Aubergines Stuffed with Moussaka
Moussaka with a twist here, as Delia uses minced lamb to stuff aubergines in her own version of a Greek classic.
Serves 3-6Aubergines Amalfitane
This lovely, Italian-inspired aubergine recipe is the essence of late-summer eating and would be a good addition to your barbecue repertoire.
Serves 6Moussaka with Roasted Aubergines and Ricotta
Although moussaka is a Greek classic, Delia has added an Italian element with a ricotta topping for a creamy and lighter touch than the traditional bechamel sauce.
Serves 1Lamb Chops baked with Aubergines
A great midweek supper, with everything cooked together. Lamb and aubergines partner each other beautifully, offering more than a hint of Mediterranean flavour.
Serves 4Char-grilled Aubergine and Roasted Tomato Salad with Feta Cheese
As Delia says, bread dipped into fruity olive oil and tomato juices is food of the gods. But roast the tomatoes first and it’s even better! This easy salad is the perfect thing for a hot summer’s day.
Serves 2 as a first course, or as a main course served with riceTempura with Prawns, Shiitake Mushrooms and Aubergine with a Dipping Sauce
This is designed for beginners, just to get the feel of making tempura and the practice. There are, of course, many different types of ingredient that can be used, such as squid, whitebait, chillies, pieces of green pepper, baby scallops, onion rings
Serves 4 as a starterTunisian Aubergine Salad with Coriander and Yoghurt
This is my adaptation of an Elizabeth David recipe. I never actually made it from her book, but one of my favourite restaurants, Chez Bruce, in Wandsworth, London, regularly serves it as a first course. It's so wonderful I never have anything else if
Serves 4Greek Lamb on the Bone with Aubergines and Rice Pilau
Slow-cooking lamb, as in this recipe, intensifies its flavour and makes for very tender meat. Enjoy this Mediterranean-style dish - a real winner when entertaining.
Serves 4Ratatouille
This famous Provençal vegetable stew is best made in the autumn when the vegetables needed for it are cheap and plentiful. This can be a most attractive dish but not if it ends up mushy. So to avoid this, make sure you don't cut up the vegetables too
