Stacked eggplants as binders: scandalous filling between tidy edges.
Large flat eggplant slices, filled with a sharp feta-walnut mixture, stacked like binders in a cabinet. Tidy outside, but each cut reveals a spicy, bold interior. The folder stack refers to the searched office files of the European Parliament.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplants
- 200 g feta cheese
- 80 g walnuts
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Pepper to taste
- 1 red bell pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Slice the eggplants lengthwise into slices about 1 cm thick.
- Brush the slices with olive oil and roast for 15 minutes on baking paper until soft.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the walnuts and mix with crumbled feta, minced garlic, lemon zest, parsley, and pepper.
- Cut the bell pepper into wide strips.
- Remove the eggplant slices from the oven, let cool briefly.
- Top half the slices with the feta mixture, cover with a second eggplant slice.
- Stack the stuffed eggplants like binders, upright or slightly slanted, on a platter.
