How to cook aubergine - the Currabinny chefs have the perfect recipes

In Currabinny, neither the little garden or the greenhouse have ever yielded much in the way of aubergine. We have tried a couple of times. A spell of hot weather will sometimes give a modest sized fruit but all in all, it tends to be pretty futile.

Aubergine originates in India and China and was brought to the Mediterranean by the Arabs, its preferred growing climate is therefore one with long warm/hot summers. Unfortunately Currabinny does not match that criteria.
