Directions
Stuffed Eggplant (Aubergine) Slices, These eggplant slices, stuffed with tomato slices, feta and capsicum, make a great starter for a Greek-style meal or if you want to make them part of a complete meal, serve them with pita bread, a Greek salad, potatoes, such as Recipe #119124, olives and a selection of dips I am posting this recipe, from one adapted from an International Masters ‘1001 recipes for pan or wok’ recipe card, for the 2005 Zaar World Tour , The recipe itself tastes yummy in the end, but I think I would recommend the following: 1) The instructions say 16 pieces, but depending on the size of the eggplant the pieces might turn out too thick/thin Having an even number to make the sandwiches is good to keep in mind If you can’t make 16 slices, for thickness, I found the ones I cut between 1/4 and 1/2 came out the best 2) The eggplants leaked tons of water at the end and were too flimsy to pick up by hand (not sure if they are meant to be picked up) I think I might try sweating them beforehand next time But these two things are minor complaints, the recipe is worth making!, Very taste! If you like eggplant sandwiches (which I do) then you’ll like these Makes a nice first course (see photo on green plate), or lunch (white plate) The recipe came together nicer then I thought it would Had anticipated them falling apart, but oh happy days they did not Will make aging Thanks for the post
