Aubergines seem to feature quite heavily in a lot of veggie recipes. Is it because they’re fairly meaty in texture, while also good at soaking up other flavours? Probably, I guess. They’re not something I’ve got much experience of cooking – if I’m honest, before I went veggie I’d probably only used them once or twice before. This easy-peasy recipe for a warming, thick chilli sin carne uses a whole aubergine, chopped up roughly. I used the slow cooker (because I’m quite lazy) in this recipe, and was surprised how thick the end result turned out – I usually factor in 15-20 minutes of oven cooking at the end of a slow cooker recipe to thicken the stew, but here it wasn’t needed! The smoked paprika gives an amazing depth of flavour, and I’d estimate you’d end up with around 4-6 portions (depending on if you go back for seconds…)
