Aubergines

Posted byelleninpugliaPosted inUncategorized

Yesterday I got to pick the last of the aubergines and green peppers from a friends vegetable garden, so over the next few days I’ll be using them up in a variety of ways

Grill the aubergines on a dry griddle pan
Now they’re ready to be used in a variety of ways

Grilled Aubergines with mint garlic and oil

Slice the aubergine (about 1 cm thick). Cook the slices on the griddle pan a couple of minutes on each side. Season with salt, then 1 clove of crushed garlic, fresh mint leaves a spray of balsamic vinegar and finish off with a drizzle of evo (extra virgin olive oil).

Then with the grilled aubergine slices that were left over I made little baked cheese ‘sandwiches’.

………..sprinkle with grated parmesan or grana, pepper and basil leaf and a drizzle of olive oil.
Lightly salt the slices of aubergine. Put some chopped mozzarella
or scamorza on each slice…………
Close the ‘sandwich’ with another slice of grilled aubergine
Lightly salt the aubergine, then put a sprinkling of grated cheese, a a little grated breadcrumb, finish off with extra virgin olive oil and freshly grated black pepper.…..and they’re ready to go into the oven!

Bake at 200°C for 10/15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the ‘sandwiches’ become a nice golden colour. Serve with a green salad.
