Braised brinjal and onion with hardboiled egg

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 2-3

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 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.
