Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 medium eggplants -- (to large)

2 tablespoons olive oil -- as needed

salt

3 garlic cloves -- crushed

1 piece fresh root ginger (2-inch total) -- grated

or crushed in a garlic press to extract the juice

1 1/2 tbsp ground cumin

pinch cayenne or chilli powder -- generous taste

6 tablespoons honey -- (liquid)

1 lemon -- juiced

1/2 cup water -- or more if needed

 

1. Peel the aubergines (the peel remains tough when it is grilled) and cut them

into rounds about 1/3-in thick. Dip them in olive oil, turning them over, and

sprinkle with salt.

 

2. Cook on a griddle pan or under the grill (broiler), turning them over once,

until they are lightly browned. They do not need to be very soft, as they will

cook further in the sauce.

 

3. In a wide saucepan or frying pan, fry the garlic in 2 tbsp of the oil for

seconds only, stirring, then take off the heat. Add the ginger, cumin, cayenne

or chilli powder, honey, lemon juice and water.

 

4. Put in the aubergine slices and cook over a low heat, either in batches so

that they are in one layer, or together - rearranging them so that each slice

gets some time in the sauce - for about 10 minutes or until the slices are soft

and have absorbed the sauce. Add a little more water if necessary.
