Mum’s aubergine

March 3, 2016 By miri 1 Comment

While it’s not Mother’s Day where I’m from and where my mum lives (Switzerland), the cold weather and all the Mother’s Day cards everywhere really brought back memories of an old favourite we used to have when I was little – fried aubergine! It’s not necessarily light and healthy fare, but BOY, these are GOOD.

aubergine

Here goes:

What you’ll need (for 2 people)
1 large aubergine
2 eggs, lightly beaten
approx. 100g flour
approx. 100g breadcrumbs
vegetable oil
salt & pepper
5 tbs mayo
lemon wedge
2 tspn garlic paste

How to do it
1. Slice aubergine into 1 cm wide disks
2. Lightly dust the aubergine disks with some salt
3. Let the aubergines sit for at least 30 mins – this will extract the bitterness / acid. Wipe off with kitchen towel.
4. Bathe the aubergines in the egg
5. Mix the flour and breadcrumbs, then spread out on a flat plate
6. Cover the eggy aubergines in flour and breadcrumbs on the prepared place
7. Heat a wide pan with oil (I used sunflower, you can use rapeseed too). The pan should pretty much be covered in a low level of oil, to allow the aubergines to slightly deep fry
8. Fry the aubergines until golden.
9. Pat aubergines in kitchen towel after frying to remove excess oil. Season with salt & pepper
10. Serve with a lemon aioli sauce (mayo, lemon juice and garlic mixed)

  • Homemade hummus turned out just 👌 The real deal, made from dried chickpeas not canned, and slowly boiled to release the skins. Then blended with ice. Super smooth!

  • Another day, another attempt. Nice ear developed from scoring 🐰! Very happy with the flavour and the crumb is improving, becoming more open, although something strange went on with a couple of random big air pockets in between. Bad shaping? 🤷🏻‍♀️ -
This one was: 900g organic wheat, 100g rye, 750g water, 200g levain, 20g salt. 4h bulk ferment and about 13h overnight fridge proof.
