Marinated Eggplant/Aubergine 07:29
Ingredients - Serves 2
1 large eggplant
4 tbsp EV Olive oil + 2 or 3 tbsp if needed
2 tbsp of vinegar balsamic or white wine vinegar + 2 tbsp if needed
3 cloves of garlic, skinned and sliced into two
Fresh mint, parsley or basil leaves
Salt
Slice the Aubergine, 5 mm (1/4 inch) thick
Place them on a hot griddle pan. Turn them over and when soft and nicely grilled set aside to cool.
Place them all in a in a bowl.
Pour on the top 2 tbsp of EV olive oil and add the garlic
Add a pinch of salt or more, depending on taste, then 2 tbsp of vinegar
Slowly toss the slices then add the rest of the EV olive oil and more vinegar and salt if needed.
Tear the fresh mint leaves with your hands and add them.
Keep tossing slowly until you see that the eggplant slices well coated with the oil.
Cover and let it rest for a few hours. If you leave over night it is even better.
Marinated eggplant/aubergine makes a very good antipasto or a 'contorno' (side dish), great with cold meats or grilled fish but they are very good as a light summer lunch with a slice of fresh bread.
A perfect vegan / vegetarian recipe
