Okay, we need to establish a few things here. I know that this vegetable is called Eggplant in many english speaking countries, but I have to agree with Sara B. from My New Roots<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span> \u00a0eggplant simply sounds unappealing, whereas Aubergine seems like an exotic and (for danish people at least) a far more well known name. So for now here at A Tasty Love Story they will be called AUBERGINES.
\nAs mentioned \u00a0earlier Aubergine<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span> \u00a0is one of my absolute favorite vegetables. It\u2019s a no-go to eat it raw, but as soon as you cook it it becomes this tender, soft and very tasty vegetable. You can bake it, grill it, fry it and even boil it then mash it and fry it (a Philippine traditional dish) and it will end up being wonderful no matter what!<\/p>\n

I often bake my aubergines in the oven with some sort of topping, and here you can vary a lot if you feel like it. The other day when my fridge felt kind of empty and I had big time aubergine-cravings, I magically came up with this recipe and I have made it quite a few times since then. For this recipe I used Ajvar which is a Balkan spread\/sauce which is primarily made out of aubergines, red peppers, onion and garlic. It is really tasty and spicy and there\u2019s something nice about the thought of adding aubergine on top of aubergine.
\nYou can make ajvar yourself or you can buy some nice alternatives in a jar. I have not yet made Ajvar myself but there are plenty of recipes out there, take this one<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a>for example. I promise you I\u2019ll go crazy ajvar-making in the kitchen some day soon and share the results with you, but for now I went with my yummy organic jar alternative. Besides the ajvar I added serrano ham and parmesan along with a few slices of sweet and summer fresh tomatoes, since these are some of my absolute favorite ingredients and always available in my kitchen. \u00a0On the side I had some homemade bread and garlic & basil oil which fitted perfectly with the italian topping theme (with a twist of balkan autumn, smile).<\/p>\n
