Recipe: Honey Spiced Aubergine (Eggplant)

[Guest guest]

At last I feel confident enough to send in a recipe. This is a really

delicious way to serve aubergine (eggplant) and I have successfully fed it to

people who were convinced that they hated this vegetable. They even came back

for

seconds.

 

Honey Spiced Aubergine (Eggplant)

2 sliced aubergine

2 cloves garlic chopped and crushed

Enough olive oil to fry the aubergine

A generous chunk of fresh ginger peeled and grated

Juice of 1 lemon ( juice of half may be enough if it is a big one)

About 6 soup spoonfuls of runny honey or a very generous squirt from the

bottle

About 1½ coffee spoons of cumin seeds

 

Brown the slices of aubergine in the olive oil either in a pan on top of the

stove or for a short while in a hot oven. Then set aside.

In a large pan on top of the stove briefly fry the garlic in a little olive

oil. Add the ginger, lemon juice, honey and cumin. Stir well for a minute or

two. Add the aubergine to the pan. Pour on a little water to prevent sticking.

Stir well and taste to check seasoning. You may want to add a little more

honey if your lemon was very juicy or a little more cumin for personal taste.

Cover the pan and cook over a gentle heat for 10 to 20 minutes until the

aubergine is soft and starting to break down. Makes a great side dish to many

meals.

 

Regards,

Chris
