  • Delicious Turkish-Style Eggplant Recipe

    Delicious Turkish-Style Eggplant Recipe

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • 2 large eggplants
      • Salt (to taste)
      • 3 eggs
      • Ground black pepper (to taste)
      • Paprika (to taste)
      • 1 tsp mustard
      • Olive oil (for frying)
      • 150g breadcrumbs
    • 2 tbsp flour
    • Italian herbs (to taste)

    Instructions:

    Step 1: Prepare the Eggplants

      1. Slice the eggplants: Cut the eggplants into thin, even slices. You can either slice them into rounds or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference.
    1. Salt the eggplants: Sprinkle a generous amount of salt over the sliced eggplants. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to draw out excess moisture and bitterness. Afterward, rinse the eggplant slices with cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

    Step 2: Prepare the Egg Coating

      1. Beat the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, mustard, a pinch of salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. The mustard will give the coating an extra layer of flavor and help the seasoning stick to the eggplants.
      2. Prepare the breading: In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with Italian herbs and a little more black pepper or paprika for extra flavor. In another small dish, place the flour, which will help the egg mixture stick to the eggplant slices.

    Step 3: Coat the Eggplants

      1. Dredge the eggplants: First, lightly coat each eggplant slice with flour. Shake off any excess flour.
      2. Dip in egg mixture: Next, dip each slice into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
      3. Cover with breadcrumbs: Finally, press each slice into the seasoned breadcrumbs, coating both sides thoroughly. The breadcrumbs will give the eggplants a beautiful, crispy texture once fried.

    Step 4: Fry the Eggplants

      1. Heat the oil: In a large frying pan, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to shallow fry the eggplants, so they turn golden and crispy.
      2. Fry the eggplants: Place the coated eggplant slices in the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, so the slices cook evenly.
      3. Drain excess oil: Once fried, remove the eggplants from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

    Step 5: Serve

    Serve the crispy eggplant slices hot with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad. These eggplants are crispy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside, making them the perfect accompaniment to any meal

    Cooking Tips:

      • Salting the eggplants: Salting the eggplants beforehand is an important step to remove their natural bitterness and help them crisp up better when frying.
    • Frying temperature: Be sure not to overheat the oil, as it can cause the eggplants to burn before they’re fully cooked through. Medium heat is ideal for getting that golden crust.
    • Baking option: For a healthier version, you can bake the coated eggplant slices in the oven. Simply place them on a parchment-lined baking tray and bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.

  • Spicy Garlic Eggplant with Fresh Parsley

    Spicy Garlic Eggplant with Fresh Parsley

    Spicy Garlic Eggplant with Fresh Parsley

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

    1. 1 eggplant
    2. 3 cloves of garlic, minced
    3. Fresh parsley, chopped (about 2 tablespoons or to taste)
    4. 1 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
    5. 40 ml olive oil (about 3 tablespoons)
    6. Salt, to taste
    7. Black pepper, to taste

    Step-by-Step Instructions:

    Step 1: Prepare the Eggplant

    Wash and slice the eggplant: Rinse the eggplant under cold water. Cut the eggplant into thin, even slices (about 1/2 inch thick) or cubes, depending on your preference. If the eggplant has a lot of seeds, you can sprinkle it with salt and let it sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat the eggplant dry with a paper towel before cooking.

    Step 2: Sauté the Eggplant

    In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
    Once the oil is hot, add the eggplant slices or cubes in a single layer. Cook the eggplant until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. If the eggplant absorbs the oil quickly, add a bit more oil as needed.
    Remove the eggplant from the pan once it’s softened and browned, and set it aside.

    Step 3: Prepare the Garlic and Seasoning

    In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
    Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté it for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn, as it can become bitter.
    Stir in the hot pepper flakes, adjusting the amount to your desired spice level.
    Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

    Step 4: Combine and Serve

    Return the sautéed eggplant to the pan and toss it in the garlic and pepper mixture, ensuring the eggplant is evenly coated with the seasoning.
    Turn off the heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley. The parsley will add a bright, fresh flavor that complements the richness of the eggplant.
    Serve the eggplant immediately as a side dish, or you can pair it with rice, couscous, or crusty bread for a light meal.

    Cooking Tips:

    Salting the eggplant: If you’re worried about bitterness, especially with larger eggplants, sprinkle salt on the cut eggplant and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This draws out any bitter moisture and improves the texture. Pat it dry before cooking.
    Oil absorption: Eggplants tend to absorb a lot of oil while cooking. To reduce the amount of oil used, consider lightly brushing the eggplant slices with oil before placing them in the pan. You can also opt to bake the eggplant in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
    Adjusting spice levels: The heat from the hot pepper flakes can be adjusted based on your preference. You can add more if you love spice, or reduce it for a milder version.
    Extra flavors: For an added layer of flavor, squeeze a little lemon juice over the dish just before serving. It balances out the richness of the eggplant with a bit of acidity.
