RECIPE VIDEO: https://www.eatitorstarve.com.au/sing... • ******** • COOKBOOK: 200 Budget Meals • I know that I have been cooking recipes with aubergine/eggplant frequently in the last few weeks but this vegetable is just delicious! • Here’s a fun fact for you! Aubergine/eggplant is known to us as a vegetable but in fact it is a fruit!They are a good source of fibre, B1 B6 potassium. The leaves are poisonous and should never be eaten. It’s a great vegetable/ fruit to cook with as it is inexpensive in most parts of the world • Enjoy • ********** • Recipe • Serves 4 • 2 aubergines / eggplants • Salt pepper • 3 tablespoons of olive oil • 1 onion, diced • 2 gloves of garlic, chopped finely • 1 tablespoon dry italian herbs • 250g can of chopped tomatoes • 1 tablespoon tomato paste • 400g mozzarella cheese, cut into thin slices • Remove the green top of the eggplants. Rinse under cold water. Slice each in half lengthways. • Sprinkle a considerable amount of salt on the flesh side of each half. This will extract the bitter juices. • Set to the side for 10mins. • You will see that there has been a layer of liquid forming on the top or each half of the aubergine/eggplant. Take kitchen paper towels and pat each to absorb as much of this liquid as possible. • Pre heat the oven, 180C • Remove the flesh from each half, leaving 1cm of border to form a shell. Place the shells facing upwards on a flat oven tray lined with greaseproof paper. Bake in moderate oven for 20mins. Remove from oven and set aside. • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the garlic, stir for a few seconds, add the onion and fry until almost caramelised. Add pepper ( and a small amount salt) , chopped canned tomatoes, dry italian herbs, tomato paste, mix well. Simmer for 5mins. Remove from heat. • Fill each aubergine/eggplant shell with tomato mixture. Top each with slices of mozzarella. Place in moderate oven and bake until cheese has melted and is slightly golden, approx 5mins. Ready to serve.
