Seasonal Recipes For a Delicious September

Aubergine is in season this September, making this recipe from Amuse Your Bouche a great one to try this month. While aubergine can have a bad reputation for being on the slimy side, this recipe means you get all of the flavour and a fantastic texture that will have you coming back for seconds. Serve them up with a smoky tomato sauce and you’ll definitely be onto a winner.

You’ll soon see a lot of apricots on the supermarket shelves because they will be ready to eat this month. This little fruit works just as well in savoury meals as it does in sweet dishes, as this recipe from the Greedy Gourmet proves. When the weather starts to get a bit colder, this meal will definitely warm you up.

When you think of cabbage, your mind probably goes to school dinners or the overcooked green leaves on a Sunday roast. However, cabbage is a fantastic ingredient and is incredibly healthy, so you should give it another chance. Try this recipe from Lavender and Lovage and you’re sure to develop a new-found respect for this humble veggie.

Pears also come into season this month, meaning they serve as a great alternative to apples in lunchboxes. On top of this, you can make some delicious desserts that are ideal for both warm and cool days. Try this recipe from Fork Knife Swoon to dish up a simple but tasty pudding that can be served with hot custard or vanilla ice cream.
