How to prepare Aubergine/Eggplant Byurek
August 26th, 2007
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 kg aubergines (about 4-5 large aubergines)
- 200 g white brined cheese or feta cheese
- 50 g breadcrumbs
- vegetable oil
- 100 g plain flour
- 6 eggs
- parsley
- a bunch of dill
- black pepper and salt
How to cook:
Wash and dry the aubergines, slice 1/2 cm thick, sprinkle with salt and put aside for 10-15 minutes. Drain any juices which are running from the aubergine slices. Put each slice in flour and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Make a filling by mixing 4 eggs, cheese, parsley and pepper. Place a tbs of the mixture onto one slice and cover with another slice, making it look at as a sandwich. Do the same with the other aubergine slices.
Then dip the “sandwiches” in the remaining 2 eggs (beaten), cover in breadcrumbs and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
The same recipe can be made with peppers, but instead of slicing them, you simply fill them.
