Aubergine and Feta Cheese Stacks
OMG this one's SUPERB! It was SOOOOOO sexy... my taste buds virtually fused with the food... it was like a marriage made in heaven! And yet... so simple!
I have pics but not with me so I'll post em when I get home! For 2 people (for picky it wasn't a meal but a side order... I could have just had it by itself though!) Ingredients: 1 Large Aubergine 1/2 pack of Feta (you know.. the rectangular type sized ones you can get) 4 Medium-Large Tomatoes (chopped into medium sized cubey pieces) 1 Crushed Garlic Glove Seasoning A Handful of fresh Basil, finely chopped Recipe: 1. Chuck on the oven at Gas Mark 4/5 (as in... turn it on... don't puke on it) 2. Cut the Aubergine into roughly 2cm slices (so they're round shaped). Plonk them into a medium heat pan and fry for 3-4 minutes either side. Try to use olive oil to cook, but if you canny use oil then put in a splash of water to save them from burning (don't flood it... just to keep it moist. Hehehe. Moist. A word that never fails to make me laugh!) When they're done whack em on a plate on the side. 3. Throw the tomatoes, Basil, garlic and crumbled feta into a big bowl. Season very well (crushed black pepper if you can) and mix. 4. In same pan as aubergines were, plonk in the mix and whizz em round for a couple of minutes until heated through. 5. Get you're largest aubergine circle and put it on a baking tray. Spoon on some of your mixture, then stick a smaller aubergine slice on top. Continue until leaning tower of pisa affect takes place. Make another. 6. Any left over mixture - put it in around the stacks and then throw them all into the oven for 12-15mins! AND VOILA! Serve on a bed of spinach! All in all it takes about 10mins prep but about 30mins cooking altogether! Real great and simple starter if you were entertaining - but like I said - it's a meal in itself for me! Piccies will come soon so watch this space and cover your keyboards for spontaneous dribbalage! |
