Peanut Stuffed Aubergines

 

Got The Vegetable people to feed? There is an answer to lentils, yep peanut filled aubergine hedgehogs. They do look like baby hogs, don't they? I want to squash one flat by rolling an old Dunlop over it and serve it on a bed of rocket, just for that picky Vegan, you know the one, yes the irritating one. Talking of which Veganuary?  Take it up, I ask you. By February you'd be procrastinating over whether it's 'houmous' or 'hummas'. Worrying about all sorts, and not washing properly. It's a sad road that leads to being a hippy, yes four weeks and you'd be shopping in health food shops, only buying 'Suma' products, insisting on wonky carrots at Sainsburys (a vegatabalist trait) pale and pallid and poorer for a won't of a sausage and bacon bun from Greggs' you'd be. There's No Such Thing as a 'vegetable sausage' roll Greggs BTW, it's God knows what goop inside filo pastry. Meat is 'not' murder. Get real. Get a real 'Steak Bake' and don't spit the gristle. When it comes to Greggs ya swoller.

I've nothing against vegetarians, but Veganuary adverts on FB... You don't ever get, 'thought of being gay? FB adverts do you? Err no. And sending me a vegan cookbook isn't going to up the game. You see you can't flim flam from one to another. And a month is long time without pork.

Anyway if you want to make Veggies remember the flavour and texture of  Marathon bars  oops I mean 'Snickers', without the chocolate taste, read on. And I've made these a few times now and they are rather good excellent, a nice starter with the aforementioned rocket.

The hedgehog aubergines can be bought in Asian shops but larger ones are okay, I'd imagine.. Don't cut through the stalk so it remains together. And perfectly acceptable for the er Veggies. 

So Nobby's nuts, or any really, roasted, salted, any, but I'd love to tell the veggie, 'it's made with Nobbys, err, yes his, er nuts', anyway smash them to bits, stir in some garam masala, cumin, turmeric and bit of chilli powder, then a couple of spoons of tahini (available in health stores). Combine and stuff as above, brush with olive oil and bake for about 35 mins and serve.
