Step 1: You will need…
- 4 medium aubergines
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 200 ml olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp hot chilli flakes or cayenne pepper
- 1 small bunch of coriander
- the juice of 1 lemon
- salt
- 1 large heavy bottomed frying pan
- 1 frying spatula
- 1 colander
- 1 large knife
- 1 small knife
- 1 chopping board
- 1 kitchen paper towel
Step 2: Prepare the aubergines
Destalk the aubergine and remove the other end. Then, without peeling, dice them into cubes 2.2cm across. Put the aubergine into the colander, add a generous handful of salt, mix together and drain for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the vegetables
Peel and chop the garlic. Core the tomatoes and dice them. Now wash the coriander leaves thoroughly under a tap. Carefully pat the leaves dry with a paper towel and cut them roughly into coarse pieces.
Step 4: Cook the aubergines
Rinse the aubergines under a tap and pat with a paper towel. Put the frying pan on the hob and heat the oil. Add the aubergine and fry until golden. Now mix in the cumin seeds, chopped garlic, chilli flakes and tomatoes and warm for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5: Remove the pan from the heat
When the tomatoes are warmed through, remove the frying pan from the heat. Add the coriander, lemon juice and a pinch of salt to taste.
Step 6: Serve
Serve the aubergine salad as a hot or cold dish - either as an exotic appetiser or accompaniment to a main meal.
