make sure before you use it you slice it up and put salt all over then leave for a couple of hours and then wash the salt off. it takes off something that tastes bad/is bad for you or something

If you're having a BBQ at any time, throw a whole aubergine on the rack, and leave it until it's blistered & soggy, then all you have to do is scoop out the flesh & eat it.

Salting it used to be nesscessary to remove the bitterness, but modern varieties of aubergines have the bitterness bred out of them
