Oh, I lurve aubergines! I could eat loads of soft, fragrant griddled slices just sprinkled with coarse sea salt, crushed garlic and parsley. Or crumble some feta cheese on top. Or layer them with mozzarella and either fresh sliced tomato or tom sauce, and bake covered with grated parmesan. Or use them instead of lasagne sheets with bolognese and cream cheese "bechamel". Or layered with fried mince then smothered in a mixture of eggs and yoghurt and baked as a moussaka. The simplest way is to just cut them in half, slice through the flesh a couple of times then glug some olive oil on top, add salt and garlic, and bake for 30-45 minutes. Yum!
