Steve Said:

I just made fusilli pasta and tossed some aubergine pesto, fresh spinach and salami into it?

We Answered:

Try pasilla peppers, fire roasted over your burners if possible. Or just some minced red chili peppers or minced garlic. Good luck?

Katie Said:

What does the color aubergine make you think of?

We Answered:

Well, it makes me think of...aubergines, Bordeaux wine, blackberry picking with my cousin and then making delicious blackberry jam, Kalamata olives, my favourite store in Paris, called Le Bon MarchÃ© (it's their colour).

Penny Said:

How do you know when an aubergine(eggplant) is ripe?

We Answered:

When it lays seductively on the sofa, and whispers, "take me now!" ? ;-)

I've always judged by the softness of the plant's flesh at the top near the stem. If it's very firm there, it's not ripe. If it's soft but not mushy, it's just right. That's what my little old lady grocer landlady taught me when I lived in France...:)

Brinjal Sambal

1 large eggplant

2 cloves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Slice egg plant in half and put in a baking dish and cover with foil.
Bake for about one hour until the egg plant looks grayish.
Scoop it out and set aside.
In a saucepan, heat oil and add onion.
Then add spices.
Cook for about 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes, chillies and egg plant and cook until the vegetables are cooked and you may need to add a little water as you're cooking it so that it doesn't get too dry

What wear with aubergine coloured jeans?

We Answered:

For tops, black, white, or cream (off white) would be easy picks. If you can find the right shade of red, blue, or pink you will have a look to set you apart from the crowd.
What if the color of your footwear matched or complimented your top? Sort of tie everything together. Boots, heels or flats, whichever you prefer.

Jeffery Said:

When preparing an aubergine/eggplant do you remove the seeds?

We Answered:

no unless you are scooping them out to fill them but I use the inside as well

yes dice them all , if you think about it for a second if you eliminate all the seeds there would be nothing left of them just look at the picture or your aubergines
