Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium aubergines
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Start by preparing the aubergines: Cut off the green tops and slice them lengthwise into rounds about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the aubergine slices on a tray, sprinkle them with salt, and let them sit for about 10 minutes. This will help draw out any bitterness.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic (use a garlic press or finely chop), ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric, chili flakes, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
After 10 minutes, rinse the salt off the aubergine slices under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with the spice mixture generously.
Place the seasoned aubergine slices on the grill and cook for about 7-10 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the aubergine slices from the grill. Transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish the grilled aubergine with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve the Low Fat Aubergine Rotie warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a part of a main meal.
