What veggie dish can I make with an eggplant?

[Lentilweaver]

Any suggestions? I have googled but a quick and foolproof recipe would be greatly appreciated. I have feta, basil, tomatoes, onions....

vegetable moussaka?

Make a tomato sauce then layer the aubergine with it in a dish and sprinkle each layer with feta. Bake it in the oven

How about a layered dish, something like an Aubergine Parmigiana
Recipe

I'd roast all of that together as a traybake (add garlic if you can) and then stir in some pasta.

Or chop aubergine into cubes and dry fry, separately sweat chopped onion with until soft, (then add garlic if poss), add tomatoes, reduce, then aubergine, basil in last.

Baked gnocchi and aubergine

I usually half them (lengthways), hollow out the insides, and fry up the chopped insides with your onions, add the toms, cubed feta and seasoning. Put it back into the hollowed out aubergine shells & bung in the oven for about 30 minutes.
Topped with mozzarella is good.

Aubergine parmigiana ... Yum!

Aubergine lasagne. My dh favourite.

Layer garlicky fried slices of aubergine with fried halloumi and serve on mashed potato

Love a parmigiana - lots of different recipes and methods depending on where in Italy it comes from…but all very yummy

Really lovely, especially topped with crumbled feta and popped under the grill for a few minutes. I don't fry the eggplant, I roast it instead. Just as delicious.

Spaghetti a la Norma, use your feta instead of ricotta. Use any pasta you have, or gnocchi also works well. Super quick and easy.

I always cut mine into rounds and put some salt on them to soak out excess liquid and bitterness for about 20 mins before cooking which helps it taste better.

Bosh do a lovely caponata pasta sauce, I think it's in their orange book

If you're thinking of aubergine parmigiana and cooking for someone who's actually veggie, rather than just going for a meat-free meal, please be aware that parmesan isn't suitable for vegetarians as it contains animal rennet.

You can get veggie-friendly parmesan alternatives (often sold as "Italian-style hard cheese") at Sainsbury's or Waitrose.

Thanks everyone! I might pick the easiest one today but saving the others for another day. I am normally better with Asian cooking.

Aubergine pizzas elavegan.com/eggplant-pizza-recipe/ are really quick to make. Use feta in place of mozzarella and chopped up tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes.

I was thinking alla Norma as well.
Super quick eggplant parmi is just slice, crum and fry, bottled tomato pasta sauce on top, cover in cheese and bake.
