Notes
Fresh chili can be used rather than powder, use the quantity to suit your palate.
Method
Preparation
Slice the aubergine into 1 cm thick slices.
Fry the slices in hot oil until browning (both sides). Cool on a plate.
Finely chop the onion.
Dice the tomatoes.
Chop the lettuce.
Zest and juice the lime.
Wash and chop the mint.
Assembly
Mix the chopped herbs with the lime juice.
Put the fried aubergine, onion, tomatoes, and lettuce into a bowl and pour in the lime juice and zest.
Add a good pinch of chilli and then season to taste and turn gently.
To serve
Serve chilled.
Variations
Rocket leaves would go well in place of the lettuce.
Other fresh herbs can be included.
The hot spice can be increased if you prefer more "fire" as this is well balanced by the cooked aubergine.
