My Super 6 challenge


Each fortnight on a Thursday after knitting club, I visit my local Aldi to check out the newest Super six offers. Today there was beetroot, celery, broccoli, aubergine, lettuce and chillies  for 39p each.
 Normally I would only buy the celery and broccoli from this selection but I am determined to expand my food horizons and get some extra vitamins into this family after our winter full of illness.
The only thing I didn't buy were the Chillies, we aren't spicy food fans and I have some homegrown dried ones in stock.

I have, however, never knowingly eaten aubergine  (or eggplant for my stateside readers). 
I don't really know much about them at all, but a quick Google search has found This recipe
I think Aubergine pizza should be an easy one to tempt the kids to eat, hubby will just have to be a big brave boy and try it.
I am hoping to give it a go tomorrow or Saturday depending on tiredness levels from the first week back at school.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

    I just saw this and thought what a great idea this is. Wish we had this over in Canada. Good prices on all the things.

      It's a great deal isn't it? And has that lovely air of mystery about it each time they change. Last time everything was 69p and I picked up lots of leeks (3pack) for the freezer and garden x x

    I love aubergine, I slice a whole one and use it in my homemade moussaka :)
    Aldi's SuperSix are great, its my shopping day tomorrow and I was actually wondering what it was as I will plan a few meals around these bargains

    Another way to use aubergine is in moussaka, this is also easy to make. It's basically minced lamb/beef layered with slices of aubergine with a white sauce poured over it, A bit like lasagna, but using aubergine instead of pasta.
