Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Aubergines (Eggplants)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the aubergines into 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick rounds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Brush both sides of the aubergine slices generously with the marinade. Reserve any leftover marinade for later use.
Heat a griddle pan or large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the aubergine slices onto the griddle.
Cook the aubergine rounds for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender and nicely charred. Work in batches if necessary, and set cooked slices aside on a serving plate.
Crumble the feta cheese over the warm aubergine slices.
Drizzle any remaining marinade over the dish for extra flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
