Mediterranean vegetable shines with bold flavors of garlic and mint.
Ingredients:
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
  • 1 large eggplant, cut into 5mm-thick slices
  • 62.50 ml shredded fresh mint
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
  • 20.00 ml red wine vinegar
  • Ciabatta bread, chargrilled, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook one-third of the eggplant slices for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden and tender. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Repeat this process with the remaining olive oil and eggplant slices in two more batches.
  • In a shallow dish, mix together mint, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and garlic. Add the eggplant and toss well to coat. Let it marinate for 1 hour. Serve with chargrilled bread.
