Aubergine Recipes
information
Aubergines are also known as eggplants. They can be kept for several days in a cool vegetable rack or larder or in the bottom of a refrigerator.
preparing aubergines
Aubergines are used in a variety of ways, and preparation will vary according to the dish. They can be rather bitter, and in order to avoid this, cut them into 5 mm - 1 cm slices, sprinkle salt over the cut surfaces, and leave in a sieve for 30 minutes to 1 hour, during which time a great deal of liquid will drain off. Rinse under cold water and dry thoroughly. If the aubergines are left whole for cooking, the skin should be scored with a knife in a few places and sprinkled with salt.
