aubergine

An aubergine is a type of purple vegetable that's commonly used in many dishes.

Aubergines are often sliced or diced and added to sauces, stews, and stir-fries. You might see them grilled as a side dish or roasted with herbs and spices to bring out their flavor. Some people even use them in vegetarian or vegan versions of classic meat-based recipes. In Mediterranean cuisine, aubergine is a staple ingredient, often paired with tomatoes and garlic for a rich, savory taste.
