Aubergine recipes

Looking for aubergine dishes? You’ve come to the right place. We’ve got dozens of delicious aubergine recipes that showcase this versatile veg.

Aubergines are in season in the UK from around July to September. They’re ready to harvest when the flesh is firm and the skin is dark and glossy. If you’ve been growing your own aubergines, you may well have a glut on your hands.

Luckily, the humble eggplant is adept at taking on different flavours. They work brilliantly in salads, stews or as part of a mezze platter. Try creamy aubergine noodles with fiery Korean gochujang, or char them and serve with a sweet-sour Sicilian dressing. Find easy aubergine recipes here, including baba ganoush, moussaka and curry.
