Aubergine starter recipe ideas please!

[xsquared]

It's our anniversary today, so I would like to make an evening meal consisting of small plates/ tapas style dishes. So far, I have the following ideas:

• Patata bravas
• Spanish chickpeas with spinach
• Padron Peppers
• Some salad leaves

We are very keen on aubergine, but I don't just want to do aubergine with honey.
If you have any other suggestions then they are most welcome!

Thank you.

This is very delicious, though not Spanish: https://ottolenghi.co.uk/pages/recipes/roasted-aubergine-curried-yoghurt

the one with the curried yogurt is amazing or if you have any of his books there are great options

Happy anniversary! I love melanzane

slice them long ways in strips and roast. Then fill each strip with feta and basil and roll up. Or slice, roast them and then layer in a dish with a tomato sauce and layer in mozzarella, add garlic and basil to each layer.

Aubergine, Mozzarella and tomato stacks? Slice them all evenly and stack, drizzle witholive oil, add herbs/ spices of choice and bake 20mins or so

Wow! Thanks for quick replies.

Are melanzane and parmagiana the same thing?

Hasselback aubergines - lots of recipes and styles online.

Not Spanish but delicious, and so much easier than frying:
