Disgusting things.You could try this Iranian stew

With yellow split peas instead of the meat, the aubergine is very flavorful, so it will taste great without meat.
Alternatively, this Iranian side is very easy to make, and has loads more flavour than houmous

Its all in your mind
I agree with the mozzarella tasting of nothing, but you put parmesan for flavour, and mozzarella for texture. The advantage of mozzarella is that the fat doesn't separate, so you don't get the "oil" floating at the top that you get with cheddar. Summing up, mozzarella is just scaffolding.Not possible with just one, but parmigiana has become my go-to recipe for aubergine. Think lasagna but made with fried aubergine slices instead of lasagana sheets. This recipe on the BBC site is excellent - we always substitute cheddar for the mozzarella. Can't be arsed with mozzarella - it costs a fortune and tastes of nothing.
Thanks for those recipes l will try both (l have grown a lot of aubergines this year) l even have some grapevines with a lot of as yet unripe white grapes so l'll use some of those !You could try this Iranian stew

I have loads of them growing in my vegetable garden so not a problem and l do agree about the choice of parmigiana !Not possible with just one, but parmigiana has become my go-to recipe for aubergine.
