This is also a wonderful dish if you like a bit of spicy interest! It's very close to the versions I had in China:
Spicy Aubergines
450gm aubergines, cubed 2 tsp salt (to sprinkle on aubergine) 3 tbsp vegetable oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 inch piece crushed ginger (I used 1 tsp bottled minced) 1 onion, halved and sliced 1 fresh red chilli, sliced 2 tbsp dark soy 1 tbsp hoi-sin sauce ½ tsp chilli sauce 1 tbsp dark brown sugar 1 tbsp wine vinegar (I used white) 1 tsp ground szechuan pepper (I used freshly cracked) 300 ml vegetable stock
• Sprinkle salt on aubergine cubes and leave for 30 mins. Rinse off and dry pieces. • Heat oil and add garlic, ginger, onion and fresh chilli. Stir fry for 30 seconds • Add aubergines and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes • Add all remaining ingredients, reduce heat and simmer 10 mins, or until aubergine is cooked • Increase the heat to high and boil, cook until sauce has thickened • Serve

kirinesha, do you still cook and eat these three recipes!Or do you just enjoy the memory of eating them!
I ask because I have a memory (distant!) of eating bacon and the aroma of Labour weekend barbecues can sometimes get to me ;)

No, I haven't - is it in a packet!I think my taste buds are searching for a salty, smoky taste. Edited to add: But I certainly don't want it from the cured flesh of a pig!

Cauliflower and Lentil pasta bake
1 cauliflower chopped up into small bits (doesnt matter if you damage the florets as it all will be processed later) 1 large onion 3 vegetable stock cubes (I use oxo) 1 leek 2 carrots 1 tin of lentils 1 tin of diced tomatoes in juice 1 packet of penne pasta
-Chop all the vegetables up, -Fry the onions, then add the leeks and cook until soft. -Add rest of vegetables (but not the lentils) along with tinned tomatoes, stock cubes and enough water to just cover the lot. -Simmer until vegetables are tender
-Cook pasta in a separate pot in very salty water
- Using a slotted spoon or similar, scoop out the vegetables from the liquid and put into a food processor or blender (or use a stick blender in the pot). Process until smooth mix back into the cooking liquid, season with salt and pepper to taste. Should be like a thick creamy vegetable soup consistency. Add lentils
Mix the lentil sauce mixture through the drained cooked pasta and place into a baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese and bake or grill in the overn until cheese is melted and delicious.
You can serve hot as is or let cool and slice it with a salad for a summer days lunch

The fettucine alfredo recipe above elliehen's post is taken from the book Totally Vegetarian.The utube version has a handful of cashews as well. This is the version I make. I also add another clove of garlic.
