It might technically be a fruit, but the aubergine is the greatest vegetable of all. Some recipes I post might not be strictly #vegan but will always be easily veganisable eg substituting yoghurt for vegan yoghurt etc

Best part of my vegan website:
"Caponata with Polenta
Sicilian Caponata, toasted pine nuts, herby polenta cakes + green cashew sauce"
From Hendersons in Edinburgh
(Somewhat impossible to photograph so I nicked the first photo from them but it's served slightly differently now so I included our attempt for reference)
Took an aubergine to Namaste in Inverness and the chef was kind enough to make us some brinjal pakora! 🙌
"GUTTI VANKAYA MASALA
Whole aubergines shallow fried, cooked with onions, tomatoes and an assortment of herbs and spices."
From Dakhin in Glasgow
"Aubergines & Peppers. PULSE seitan with special 'kebap' spices, aubergines, sweet peppers, Turkish chillies, lots of tomatoes, onion herbs and garlic. Served with organic brown rice cooked with lemon zest and garlicky oat yogurt sauce"
From PULSE in Edinburgh
(I don't have the full details of my partner's dish on the left but I think it was a mushroom flan with beetroot and almond feta salad)
@20002ist@thepit.social @stevenbodzin@thepit.social Eat aubergines, not Aborigines 🙏
Difficult to find these in the shops so had to stock up when I got the chance. There's at least one Co-op near me that has them but apparently Waitrose stock this brand too
More brinjal pakora with a tamarind dip from Namaste in Inverness, Scotland. Ended up taking half of them home to augment a curry at home the next evening
Aubergine bagel - curried aubergine, vegan feta, beetroot hummus, pickled onion, kale, tahini with parsnip and beetroot crisps. Bit of a logistical challenge to eat but it was tasty!
(From Roots cafe in Inverness, Scotland)
When you're having a straw poll about what to have for dinner:
Anyone else on veganism.social having issues with Android apps? I'm getting an "invalid response" error on @pachli@mastodon.social (a fork of Tusky) but accounts from other servers are working okay. This is on the Home feed but Notifications are working okay.
Pickled aubergine with coriander seeds:
Pickles provide a necessary acidity to complement all sorts of meals; this one can be enjoyed on its own with a drink or as part of a spread.
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 20 min
Pickle: 1 day +
Serves 4
1½ tbsp coarse sea salt
2 tbsp caster sugar
230ml white-wine or cider vinegar
1 tbsp coriander seeds
3 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half
1 green chilli, cut into 3
1 large aubergines (450g), cut into 3cm chunks
To serve
Olive oil
Chopped coriander
Put the salt, sugar, vinegar, coriander seeds and 500ml water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the garlic, chilli and aubergine, bring back to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook, stirring a few times, for 10 minutes, until the aubergine is soft and cooked through.
With a slotted spoon, lift the aubergines into a clean, one-litre glass jar, then pour the pickling liquid over the top and seal. Leave to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least a day and up to a month.
To serve, arrange the pickle in a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with coriander.
