Braaied brinjals

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

“Cooking brinjals on the fire until soft is my favourite way to prepare them.”

Ingredients

4 medium-sized brinjals
4 T plain yoghurt
4 T Woolworths onion sprinkle
1 T olive oil
fresh coriander, to garnish
lime wedges, for serving
For the taramasalata:
4 slices white bread, crusts removed
¼ cup water
50 g Woolworths trout caviar
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ cup olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
salt, to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. Prick the brinjals and wrap in foil. Cook in medium coals until soft.

2. To make the taramasalata, soak the bread in the water, then squeeze out any excess.

3. Place in a blender with the remaining ingredients except the salt. Blend until smooth, then adjust the consistency with lemon juice or water. Season.

4. Split open the brinjals and top with the taramasalata, yoghurt and onion sprinkle. Drizzle with olive oil, garnish with coriander and serve with the limes.

Cook's note: Serve the smoky brinjals with braaied lamb chops, flatbread and a large Greek salad.
