The star of many dishes; baba ganoush, ratatouille and moussaka. Aubergine wasn’t always the first choice for a winning ambrosial dish.

According to The world’s healthiest foods, due to its bitter taste, the bright purple, pear-looking vegetable was associated with cancer, leprosy and rumoured to cause insanity. It was used more for garden decor than it was for consumption until new varieties were introduced in the 18th century.

We have 6 tasteful recipes that show off this delicious vegetable and will make you question why it was ever overlooked.
