Aubergine are a great, smoky vegetable. We love them fried and dribbled in honey as well, but this dish is great as a veggie main or as a side with grilled meat. Twice Cooked Aubergine is a great way to enjoy a great mix of Aubergine and Artichoke.
Its not fast to make, but it is easy and is one of those dishes that is great the next day. Its also great with some flat breads.
