Zingy Stuffed Aubergines
Zingy Stuffed Aubergines take flavours from the Middle East to create something truly unqiue to impress any dinner party guest. Serve as a side with your main or as a tasty, palette cleansing starter. Aubergines often get a bit of a bad rep with foodies, with a very distinct flavour and texture. However with this recipe, you’ll forget all about the slimy rep and get on board with this meaty, fleshy vegetable… a great alternative on a meat-free day!
This recipe is taken from Sabrina Ghayour’s Sirocco.
