I sometimes add about 1/2 teaspoon or more of Old Bay Seasoning to this recipe to make it taste like mock oyster pie.

Catalan Stuffed Aubergines (Eggplant) image

This subtly flavoured dish is from Catalonia; an historic country in southern Europe. Geographically it's the North West corner of Spain and a sliver of neighbouring France. Barcelona is the capital city.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium aubergines, cut in half lengthwise
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 ounce butter, divided
4 hard-boiled eggs, shelled and chopped
4 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons chopped parsley
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
oil, for greasing
parsley sprig, to garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C, 400F, gas mark 6; lightly oil a shallow ovenproof dish large enough to hold the aubergine halves.
  • Fry the onion and garlic gently in half the butter, until translucent; meanwhile, scoop out the aubergine flesh taking care to leave the shells intact.
  • Chop the flesh into small dice and mix with the onion, garlic, hard-boiled eggs, breadcrumbs and parsley; season to taste.
  • Pile this mixture into the aubergine skins (it helps to press down the first few spoonfuls for each shell) and arrange in the dish; dot with the remaining butter then bake for approximately 40 minutes (if the stuffing looks as if it is getting a bit dry during cooking, cover with foil).
  • Garnish and serve.

FRENCH TIAN D' AUBERGINES - GRATIN OF AUBERGINES/EGGPLANT



French Tian D' Aubergines - Gratin of Aubergines/Eggplant image

Serves four people as a main course, or six to eight people as an accompaniment or starter. A Tian is a traditional ovenproof terracotta clay dish - usually oval - which is used extensively in the south of France. Many dishes are named after this dish in which they are cooked, and this is one of them. This wonderful dish with the essence of Summer from the S.W. of France can be served hot or tepid as a main course, with a tossed green salad & crusty French bread, or as an "Amuse Gueule" with aperitifs - the literal French translation is a snack to "amuse the mouth" for the main course which follows! You can make the fresh tomato sauce yourself, but most French housewives use the readily available & superb tinned & chopped tomatoes for ease & convenience; this speeds up the preparation of the dish considerably. The béchamel type sauce would be made with "Brousse" in France - strained Cottage cheese is a good alternative. A large Aubergine would be about 500g each.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large aubergines, sliced, salted, rinsed & dried well
2 (400 g) cans chopped tomatoes
2 large fresh tomatoes, sliced into rings
1 (500 g) jar passata
2 -4 peeled & finely chopped garlic cloves, to taste
50 g of grana padano grated Italian cheese or 50 g parmesan cheese
1 (400 g) container cottage cheese, strained
3 eggs, beaten
250 ml creme fraiche or 250 ml sour cream
fresh basil leaf, & flowers if available
salt & freshly ground black pepper
olive oil (to cook the aubergines, about 250 mls)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 F/230 C or Gas Mark 8.
  • Lightly grease the Tian or an oven proof dish with olive oil.
  • Cook the aubergine slices in hot olive oil, turning as necessary until they are golden brown on both sides & well cooked through. Drain them well on absorbent paper & allow to cool before assembling the Tian.
  • Cheese Custard: Beat together the cottage cheese, grated Italian cheese, eggs & crème fraiche. Season with salt & black pepper to taste.
  • Mix the tinned tomatoes with the passata & add the grated or finely chopped garlic.
  • Now you can start to assemble the Tian - start with a little of the tomato sauce & then some aubergine slices; tear the basil leaves into small pieces & scatter over with basil flowers if available. Keep layering the dish with the tomato sauce & aubergines & fresh basil until all the ingredients have been used.
  • Pour over the cheese custard & decorate with the freshly sliced tomatoes. Bake in the oven for 35 - 45 minutes until golden brown & bubbling. Allow to cool & serve in slices. Delicious with fresh green salad leaves & crusty bread.
