Inspired by my favourite chef Jamie Oliver, I made this stuffed Aubergine/Eggplant. It has a very unique flavour and a different twist with peanut butter.
When we think about stuffed eggplant we always think about baby Aubergines, but I stuffed the big one with a wonderful spice mix. I made a lovely aromatic gravy to go with it.
Fit for a centrepiece at a dinner table, this is a lovely, gorgeous dish.
