An early-maturing variety bred for cooler climates — which is code for 'actually ripens in Britain.' Smaller fruits than Black Beauty, but you'll get more of them. The aubergine that doesn't make you beg for a heatwave.
in the kitchen
Aubergine curry
Cube, fry until golden, then simmer in a sauce of tomatoes, onion, ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. The aubergine absorbs the spices like a sponge. Serve with rice and naan. Comfort food with depth.
