"Eggplant: A versatile and nutritious veggie in disguise as a fruit."
Ingredients:
  • 125ml olive oil
  • 4 small Lebanese eggplant, trimmed, sliced 5mm thick lengthways
  • Plain flour, to dust
  • Salt & freshly ground pepper
  • Milk, to coat
  • Purchased breadcrumbs, to coat
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 bunch rocket, trimmed, large leaves torn
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
  • 100g feta, crumbled
Instructions:
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the eggplant, turning frequently, for about 4 minutes until it turns a light golden color. Allow it to cool completely before moving on, then discard the oil.
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper, coat the eggplant in it, shaking off any excess. Dip the coated eggplant into milk, then breadcrumbs to fully coat.
  • Heat the rest of the olive oil in the frying pan over medium heat, then fry the eggplant for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Drain on a plate lined with paper towel.
  • Mix the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar together. Toss the rocket, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and dressing in a bowl. Serve on plates, topping with eggplant and scattered feta.
