To say that the Greeks like aubergines is an understatement. Aubergines are the all time favourite summer vegetable. It can be served as a main dish such as Threcan Briam , part of a dish such a this delicious Beef with aubergine puree or even as a side dish Melitzanosalata.
There are many varieties of aubergines all of which can be used for this dish. My all time favourite is the fairy tale variety followed by the Italian aubergine.Both have soft tender flesh and are very good for grilling and baking. Other varieties such as the Graffiti/Sicilian and Chinese aubergines can also be used.
In this dish aubergines are cooked in a more versatile way; a puree.
