Ingredients
- 2 large eggplant/aubergine
- 1/2 red chili
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 small bunch fresh mint
- 2 garlic cloves finely chopped
- 4.5 tbsp (80ml) olive oil plus extra for frying
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- salt
Instructions
- Slice the eggplant around 1/4 inch thickness, sprinkle with a little salt (only enough to season don't over do it) and set aside for 30 minutes until they have released some water. Rinse the eggplant slices and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Lightly brush the eggplant on each side with olive oil. Place on a hot griddle pan until soft ( you can do this using a normal frying pan too) set aside to cool slightly.
- To make the marinade, finely chop the garlic, mint and chili (seeds removed) add to 80ml of olive oil with the red wine vinegar and oregano, stir.
- When the eggplant has cooled add a layer of the eggplant slices on a serving plate or bowl. Drizzle over 1 tbsp of the marinade then continue until all the slice and marinade has been used up. If there is extra marinade left, pour it over the final layer.
- Eat straight away with salad, or as an antipasto. Alternativley leave to marinade for 6 hours to overnight for the eggplant to soak up the flavours even more.
