This recipe for tomato and aubergine tart comes from the collection of recipes we learnt to cook at Trinity Lodge. My mom and I went to spend a weekend cooking in Darling and I have had the recipes stashed away to try soon. Thankfully my own challenges are forcing me to make these lovely recipes I have been saving. This tart is really tasty! I try and grow my own tomatoes as they are so easy to grow and even easier to harvest.

My mom flew down for a weekend and I collected her from the airport. We made our way to Darling for our time away. In Atlantis I was stopped in a roadblock. The traffic officer asked me for my drivers license and I went to the boot to get it for him. He told me that it had expired and I wondered if I had given him the old one in error. I kept two with me so that I could use one as a form of identification. When I could not find the second one I thought I had left it in the bank in error. Turns out that it actually had expired. Not the greatest start to a weekend away!
I love aubergines in any form! This looks scrumpy.
(You forgot to put the link to the pastry case in)
thanks for the reminder! I am going to try and make baba ganoush with my left over aubergines 🙂
this sounds delicious – that pastry sounds lovely, remember the link 🙂
thanks! I have a mind like a sieve at the moment! Must be the cold 🙂
Like Cindy, I’m also a huge fan of aubergines, so this one goes onto my looooooooooong list of recipes to try.
we had it cold for lunch for the next couple of days so it will be a repeat recipe with me for sure!
