Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized eggplants
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup parsley
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Avocado oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the eggplant into 3/4-inch slices. Add a little salt to disgorge. Fry the eggplant slices in some hot avocado oil until both sides are golden.
- Put the red pepper in the oven on broil for ten minutes, or over an open flame on the stove-top tossing for a few minutes until the skin blackens. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let steam for a few minutes. Peel the pepper to remove the skin and keep only the flesh. Finely chop the pepper.
- In a bowl, grate the garlic, chop the parsley and cilantro very finely, add the olive oil, lemon juice and spices, chopped peppers and marinate.
- Spread the marinade on a face of each slice of eggplant. Serve!
