A tense, tangy salad shaped like a drone—sabotage ready at the table.

A sharp, tangy salad of grilled aubergine and peppers, arranged as a menacing drone with pickle arms and a half-egg dome. The drone silhouette refers directly to the sabotaged drone from the news, while the sour and spicy flavors emphasize tension and threat.

Ingredients

2 aubergines
2 red bell peppers
1 yellow bell pepper
4 medium pickles
2 eggs
2 tbsp capers
1 red onion
1 red chili pepper
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C.
Slice the aubergines lengthwise into 1 cm thick slices.
Halve the bell peppers, remove seeds, and cut into wide strips.
Place aubergine and peppers on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes until soft and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, hard-boil the eggs (8 minutes), cool and peel them.
Slice the pickles lengthwise in half.
Cut the red onion into thin rings and the chili into thin strips.
In a bowl, mix capers, red onion, chili, white wine vinegar, and a tablespoon of olive oil for a sharp dressing.
On a large platter, arrange the aubergine slices as the cross of a drone. Place pepper strips as the four diagonal arms.
Place a halved egg in the center as the 'dome.' On each 'arm,' lay a half pickle as a propeller.
Drizzle everything with the dressing and garnish with capers.

Serving notes

Serve cold or lukewarm for extra tension.
Place the platter in the center: sabotage in plain sight.
Let guests take a 'drone arm' themselves.
