How to: make Aubergine crisps
Posted on 3 June 2012
How to make Aubergine 'Crisps' to go with our Marinated Loin of Cod:
- Finely slice an aubergine, then lightly salt the slices.
- Tap off the water (or dab gently with kitchen roll), sprinkle with cornflower and shallow fry in olive oil over a high heat until the crisps begin to turn golden.
- Take the portion of Marinated Loin of Cod out of your oven or microwave and remove the fish onto a warm plate or board.
- Put a metal ring into the centre of a shallow bowl and spoon in the vegetables, patting it down with the back of your spoon so it fits the ring snugly (you can use a ramekin instead of a ring, just spoon in the vegetables, place a bowl on top and, holding the ramekin firmly in place, turn the bowl over).
- Carefully remove the ring to leave a neat cylinder of vegetables.
- Pour the sauce from the tray over the vegetables.
- Cut or break the cod into two equal pieces and arrange on top of the veg.
- Add a couple of the aubergine crisps as a garnish on top of the cod and serve the rest in a bowl to share.
- Scatter salad leaves around the edge of the bowl and serve.
