Slim Jim
Long, slender, and quick to mature — all the things you want from an aubergine in the UK. The thin fruits don't need salting and cook fast in a hot pan. Less fuss, more aubergine.

Miso-glazed aubergine
Halve lengthways, score the flesh, brush with a paste of white miso, mirin, and sugar. Grill until caramelised and collapsing. The slim shape means more glaze-to-flesh ratio, which is exactly what you want.
