These deep-fried eggplant slices are a great appetizer. Serve with bread and tarator sauce.

The amount of butter/ghee used is based on the size of the eggplants/aubergine. Low carb

Super simple and straightforward delicious!

Eggplants tend to absorb a lot of oil and become very greasy so I tested this healthier alternative to fried eggplants

This is a quick meal which can be eaten cold too. It's healthy. Can be eaten with rice or bread.

This is the first recipe I write here, so any kind of feedback is welcome :)This is a recipe that I have eaten at home sometimes and that I looked forward to learn.It's also suitable for vegetarians just by removing the mince meat and adding more vegetables.

This is the 2nd dish which I had served for the lunch event at The Simpler Living. I was browsing thru' my recipe repertoire for a suitable side after the egg and cheese dish, but couldn't find any. Somehow or rather, this dish just popped into my head. My theme is to cook something very simple with the use of mainly vegetables; I dislike the way how some restaurants over-charge customers with fanciful seafood, caviar or truffles. Great food doesn't have to be expensive and fancy. It just needed to be done right, don't you agree?This is actually like lasagna; a dish to be placed in the middle of a dinner table where everyone can just grab their share. It is meant to be messy. But Chef Oliver Glowig turned the dish into something elegant. Yes, this recipe is inspired by him. Now, the question is, can I take this to another level? I somehow thought of a way, which is by smoking the aubergine parmigiana while it is baking. I also added liquid smoke into the tomatoes sauce to give it that extra oomph.You must be wondering why smoking the dish? Chef Oliver Glowig uses a combination of fresh mozzarella, parmigiano and scamorza. Scamorza is a special kinda dried smoked mozzarella available in Italy. I can't find it anywhere here in Singapore, so I have to improvised. And I am glad to say that it turned out wonderful. I am not saying that mine is on par with Chef Oliver Glowig's, but this is the best version I have created so far. Why don't you give this recipe a try?

the best ever with spices or herbs O:-)

So very amazing

Stuffed aubergines are called Papoutsakia in Greek (small shoes). It's aubergines with meat and usually bechamel sauce on top. I skipped the bechamel and sprinkled with grated cheese. I used 3 different kinds of cheese, mozzarella, kefalograviera (like gruyere I think) and a smoked cheese that really took the recipe to the next level.

This is a really healthy vegetarian curry which is high in protein, low in fat, but big in flavour and super tasty! If your not a fan of too much spice, you can use less Chillies/paprika and add plain natural yoghurt to cool it down. Can be eaten with white/brown rice, naan etc
