Roasted Aubergine Delight

Some beautiful fresh flavours in this super easy meal. Simple and healthy and wonderful with some fresh bread.

Roasted Cauliflower, Potato & Aubergine Curry

A deeply comforting, flavour-packed curry with roasted vegetables folded into a rich spiced tomato sauce. Roasting the cauliflower, potatoes and aubergine first gives this dish incredible texture and caramelised flavour, while the tahini and yogurt add a subtle creaminess that makes the sauce extra luscious. Finished with cooling coconut mint dressing and fresh coriander, this is the kind of nourishing one-bowl dinner that feels both hearty and vibrant. So delicious and more-ish!

Sticky Cherry Tomato, Aubergine & Tofu with Hummus

Deliciously gooey, sticky cherry tomato, aubergine & tofu stew on creamy hummus ! 🤩 This beautiful one pot is healthy and nutritious with the vibrant summer veg and butter beans. I added tofu for some delicious plant based protein - but you just add more butter beans/chickpeas. Dolloped on hummus, but this would be great with pasta/rice/bread etc. Here's the recipe! Lots of love, Niki xxx

Smoky Aubergine with Roast Tomato Walnut Sauce

Brilliant girl dinner: aubergine, roast tomato walnut sauce, and everything else you can do with it Right, this one’s for you lot specifically - because you’re the ones who actually cook the extras, not just the headline recipe. This started as a “what’s in the fridge” dinner and turned into one of my favourite things I’ve made all summer. Tomato season means I’ve got more ripe, sweet tomatoes than I know what to do with, so they went into a sauce - jammy, roasted, blitzed with walnuts and warm spice until it’s rich and slightly smoky. Then charred aubergine, silky right through, sitting on top of all that sauce. Light, but properly satisfying. This is what a “girl dinner” should actually be - not sad, not a snack plate, just genuinely good food that happens to be easy. Full recipe’s below, plus the versions and swaps I actually use on repeat.

Miso Aubergine with Sesame Noodles

This one’s a proper ode to the humble aubergine – roasted until golden and sticky in a bold miso glaze, then layered over silky sesame noodles with tamari, lime and just enough bite. It’s simple, satisfying, and proof that vegetables don’t need dressing up with much – just a good marinade, a hot oven, and the right textures to bring it all together. Serve it hot or cold. Add tofu or edamame for protein if you like. But really, the aubergine is the star here. Enjoy, love, Niki xxx

Sticky Chilli-Miso Fan Aubergines with Sesame Cream

Sticky, glossy, spicy and ridiculously good. These fan-cut aubergines are roasted until completely silky, then lacquered in a sweet-savoury chilli-miso glaze until caramelised around the edges. They’re piled onto cool, creamy sesame tahini and finished with chilli crisp, spring onions and sesame. The fan-cutting isn’t just for looks (although it does look gorgeous!) - all those little layers catch the sticky glaze, so you get maximum flavour in every bite. Big flavour, beautiful to serve, and exactly how I want to eat aubergine right now. 🍆
