Aubergine with minced ragout

You like aubergine? Very good – me too 😉
And if you’re also into bolognese, here’s your new favourite dish.

I admit: If I were presented with a plate of spaghetti bolognese and aubergine with minced ragout, I would have great difficulty deciding. I simply love both dishes. The logical consequence? I would eat both and then fall into a food coma on the couch.

But now back to the aubergine. Even if it has become a bit disreputable in messengers thanks to its questionable use as an emoji, it is still one of my favourite vegetables. Or is it a fruit? 🤔 It doesn’t matter! Whether deep-fried, baked, on pizza or turned into creamy baba ghanoush – aubergines just always go for me.

I always have this dish when I’m really in the mood for soul food. The delicious, fluffy butter rice serves as a bed for the fried aubergine slices. And on top: a really fine minced ragout with cinnamon, cardamom, allspice and harissa. The ragout gets its final touch from the freshly roasted pine nuts.

Normally, a good ragout is left to simmer for a long time. You can do that with this version too – then the flavours are more intense. But if you don’t have time, do what I do. I always prepare the ragout first and let it simmer until I’m done with the other components. Then I serve it. It will definitely taste good.

You can also prepare this dish in the evening and take it to work the next day. Believe me: your colleagues will be very jealous.
