Braised brinjal and onion with hardboiled egg

By Phillippa Cheifitz
2-3
Easy
10 minutes
30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 350 g medium brinjals
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 eggs, hard-boiled and cut into wedges
  • 2 T parsley, chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pitas, pan-fried, for serving

Method

Cut the brinjal into cubes. Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a wide pan. Add the onions and cook gently for 10 minutes, or until starting to soften.

Add the remaining olive oil, brinjal, garlic and seasoning. Mix well. Fry, stirring often, for 20 minutes or until the brinjal is very tender and the onions nicely browned.

Add the eggs and parsley. Check the seasoning and spoon over the pitas.
