Some people would have you believe that you have to salt aubergines before cooking them in order to remove the bitterness. i really don't think it is necessary unless, of course, they'reold and leathery. Besides, most aubergines we buytoday don't have those bitter juices anyway. Ingredients:
2 large aubergines |
2 garlic cloves, quatered |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 shallot, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander |
1 lime, juice of |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade.
2. Cube the aubergines and place in a large roasting tin witht the garlic and 2 Tbs of the olive oil.
3. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown.
4. Remove from the oven and stir in the shallots, mint, corriander, lime juice and remaining olive oil.
5. Season to taste and serve warm or at room temperature.
