Aubergine Fries Recipe

Jen from smilesandtrials.net is guest posting today on my blog. Her blog is a way of documenting the life of her family. 

Nestled perfectly between a sand-filled park and the beach where we live is a lovely cafe that goes by the name of Coast. They sell delicious coffee, gorgeous cakes and, something we tried once and have loved since, aubergine fries.

We loved these so much that we asked for the recipe, which goes as follows:-

Recipe


Take one aubergine and slice into strips approximately 1cm thick.

Soak in lemonade for five minutes.

Coat in flour.

Fry in seasoned oil for around two minutes until golden.

Serve with mayo or, ideally, aioli. 









Perfect!

  1. We used to have something very similar when we were on holiday in Spain many years ago and they are totally yummy. The soaking in lemonade part though was a surprise!

  3. I wonder if the lemonade makes a difference to the taste

    1. I guess they would be slightly sweet, and perhaps the bubbles help the batter become light.
