Anna del Conte's stuffed aubergine with bread and tomatoes
Aubergines are perfect for stuffing, because their flavour blends so well with other flavours
This classic dish of stuffed aubergine is based on the wonderful aubergines you can buy in the Vucceria and the Ballaro’, the two great food markets of Palermo in Sicily. The aubergines available here are a far cry from those sold in the Sicilian markets, but cooked in this way, they make a very good dish of utter simplicity and succulent flavour.
A recipe from Vegetables all'Italiana by Anna Del Conte (Pavilion Books). Buy the book here.
