The Extra Aubergine is a premium quality fresh vegetable, characterised by its beautiful smooth, shiny, dark purple skin. Supplied by Le Delas, a wholesaler in Rungis, its flesh is firm, light in colour and becomes very tender when cooked. Culinary uses: The aubergine is suitable for a wide range of uses and is a staple of Mediterranean cuisine: ► Stews and gratins: Essential for moussaka, ratatouille, tagine and parmigiana di melanzane. ► Purées and dips: Ideal for making aubergine caviar (baba ghanoush) or mutabal, after being grilled or roasted. ► Fried and grilled dishes: Can be sliced or diced to be fried, grilled or roasted in the oven, often with olive oil and herbs. ► Garnish: Can be stuffed (stuffed aubergines) or used as a side dish. Storage and preparation tips: ► Storage: Fresh product. Store away from moisture and intense cold (avoid the refrigerator if possible, as this can soften it). Store in a cool, dry place. ► Preparation: Wash before use. Traditionally, it is salted to draw out the bitterness, but modern varieties such as Extra are often less bitter and can be used straight away. Location in store: Atelier Fruits Legumes
