Crispy fried aubergines with anchovy mayo

Serves: 4
Total Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

  • ANCHOVY MAYO

  • 225g mayonnaise
  • 3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ tsp sumac
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • AUBERGINES

  • 150g cake flour
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 170g panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 medium aubergines, cut into wedges
  • canola oil, to shallow-fry
  • salt, to taste

Instructions

1

For the anchovy mayo, combine all of the mayo ingredients in a bowl. Set aside until needed.

2

For the aubergines, place the cake flour, lightly beaten eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate bowls. Working with one at a time, first dip an aubergine wedge into the flour, then into the eggs and lastly into the breadcrumbs. Place on a plate and repeat with the remaining wedges.

3

Heat a 2cm layer of canola oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the crumbed aubergine wedges, in batches if necessary, and shallow-fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on paper towel to absorb excess oil. Season with the salt, to taste.

4

Serve the wedges warm, with the anchovy mayo alongside for dipping.
