Directions
Minty Sweet and Sour Eggplant (Aubergine), An absolutely delightful canape or side dish with lamb or grilled fish from Madhur Jaffrey It’s easiest done with long, skinny Japanese eggplant, but it works equally as well with standard Italian eggplant, cut into half-circles You can slice and broil the eggplant in advance and do the final touches just before you’re ready to serve , I cut the salt too I changed the cooking method and sauted the eggplant and spices until the eggplant was cooked This was great I loved the cumin, mint and lemon juice combination I have 23 eggplants growing on my plants now so this will be a frequent at our table Thanks
