Creamy Roasted Aubergine

Hola bromigos and bromigas from all over the world! Thanks for stopping by again to read one of my posts to share some of my enthusiasm about food, to rant about random things and of course, share some bad jokes. Today’s recipe is as simple as simple comes – it is inspired by my Mediterranean roots and my love for eggplants. It’s my Creamy Roasted Aubergine recipe!

Eggplants:

Let’s talk about that beautiful thing called aubergine, or eggplant if you prefer. It is by far one of my favourite veggies of all time.

Period.

The things you can do with it are just mind blowing. Need a little creaminess in your vegan sauce? Eggplant. Need to make paleo lasagna ? Eggplant. Want to make a vegan meat sauce for your pasta? Eggplant!

That’s only the tip of the iceberg, I promise you. You should see what Afghans do with this, it’s called Bademjan, and it will knock your socks off. Or maybe you want to eat it the Moroccan way: google “Zaalouk” and get ready to have your life changed.

Aubergines are priceless.

Today’s recipe:

Now that I got you excited for all sorts of recipes, let me talk to you about my creamy roasted aubergine recipe. It’s incredibly simple to make and make the eggplant shine.

All you have to do is roast it in the oven, cut it open, scoop up the flesh, season, and enjoy with some whole wheat bread.

It’s that simple!

The result is pretty stunning though. Since you have not added much to it, what you get is a creamy side dish, where your simple seasoning lives in perfect harmony with  the eggplant and your very best olive oil.
