Best Lenten Eggplant Aubergine Recipes
ROASTED EGGPLANT LENTIL SALAD (AUBERGINE SALAD)
Recipe video above. Lentils and roasted eggplant (aubergine) is such a great combination - especially when you infuse the lentils with flavour by cooking them in a seasoned broth, and you try my method of roasting eggplant so they stay plump and juicy inside with great caramelisation on the outside! (For more roasted eggplant uses, visit this roasted eggplant recipe).Great to serve at a brunch as a main - it holds up well for hours. Serve warm, or at room temp. Serves 3 to 4 as main, 8 - 10 as a side.

LENTEN EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE)
Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. From a cookbook of countries along the Danube. This particular recipe is from Romania, Toolie's country of ancestry (I believe). I've reduced the starting point for the amount of oil (was 1/2 cup), but you can add that amount if you think it's necessary (as you know eggplants are very absorbent). I think the black olives and dill made this dish. I tried this tonight and was very pleased with the taste. Like Bluemoon said, it's not quite a ratatouille but tastes great! Four servings are very filling, so I've changed to 4-6. Be careful with additional salt.
