Recipes with aubergine

Grilled aubergine halves are scored, pan-fried in olive oil until tender, then brushed with a smooth paste of miso, egg yolk, mirin, cooking wine (sake) and sugar, baked at 220 °C for about 10 minutes until caramelized, and finished with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Vegetarian Unagi
