Chef's suggestion:
To get rid of the bitterness from aubergines, slice them, sprinkle with salt, wait a minute and collect the resulting juice. Wipe dry with a towel or scrape it off with a knife. You can replace a vanilla stick with half a teaspoon of natural extract or a packet of about 8g of real vanilla sugar.
