Aubergines (AKA purplegooberinis or something for our USA frenemies): mysterious vegetables you have to slice all thin-like and then salt till they sweat brown yuck-juice & then AND ONLY THEN PRETTY MUCH you add oil & bake them.
Delish with tomato sauce and mozarella in oven.

Aubergines first appeared in UK shops when I was a child and I was horribly disappointed at mismatch between wonderful glossy purple appearance and boring tasteless interior. I realise they can be made nice, but still think guilty of false promises

Please, please broil/char them, peel, mush and make into baba ganoush (w tahini sauce) or baingan bharta (w onions, spices). Addictive dips.

Yes! I actually prefer Mutabbal but in the UK/West (where I have been for the past decade) they call Mutabbal "Baba Ganoush" which is so confusing if you're from the ME. Recipes for both here:https://recipesaresimple.com/baba-ganoush-muttabal-middle-eastern-dips/ …
