Stuffed Eggplant (Aubergine) Slices
- 150 g Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of fresh mint, chopped plus sprigs to garnish
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 75 g feta cheese
- 2 tomatoes
- 50 g red capsicums, marinated and drained
- 1 large eggplants or 2 medium eggplants
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- Combine the yoghurt, mint and lemon juice in a bowl, season and set aside.
- Crumble the feta cheese.
- Finely slice the tomatoes, cut the capsicum into strips and trim the eggplant and cut into16 slices.
- Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with oil, season, heat a large, preferably non-stick, pan over a medium heat, add the eggplant slices and saute on one side for 2-3 minutes or until golden.
- Remove the eggplant slices from the pan and set aside and repeat the process with the remaining eggplant slices.
- Arrange 8 eggplant slices on a work surface, sauteed side up, and top with the tomato slices, the feta cheese and the capsicum strips, then add the remaining 8 eggplant slices, sauteed side down.
- Be careful NOT to overfill the eggplant "sandwiches".
- Add some more oil to the pan and being careful that the filling does not spill out, place the eggplant "sandwiches" in the pan and saute on each side for 2-3 minutes, brushing with more oil if required.
- Garnish the slices with sprigs of mint and serve them with the yoghurt sauce.
