Fried Aubergine

Post by Smitch »

When I was in Sharm recently I had really tasty fried aubergine. I would like to try it at home. I would just like to know if it is normally coated in anything, such as bread crumbs or semolina, or just fried as it is?

I know multiple versions of this dish - from just plain floured, battered or spicy. All quite simple really.

Probably the easiest version is just soaking them in water and then dropping them into seasoned flour - you can chilli the flour up a little too if you like it a bit spicy. Then just shallow fry. If you want to spend more time on it - you can do the flour, then egg, then seasoned flour bit - makes it a tad crispier on the outside - but takes time and makes a fair bit of mess. The third and favourite version - is the battered version - make pancake batter and dip them in that and then fry in deep oil.

Me, I love to rast aubergines with chilli and garlic and loads of oil - YUM!

Up here, we add an extra "i" on to the end of cous cous(i) if we're talking in public, else it's a bit rude!!!

Just thought you might like to know that little gem of wisdom - for when you all go on your hols to Luxor and start bandying it about!

Apparently you're meant to cover with salt for 2 hours - it makes the aubergine soften and go a bit gooey, then dip in batter mix. I made some a few weeks ago and it was lush!

Glad I have learnt that word for a ladies thingy. Not that I would ever use it of course. I rather like that utterly divine word " Minge "
