Grilled Aubergine With Feta And Mint Bundles Food

GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH FETA AND MINT

Steps:

• Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a tray or work surface. Lightly spray both sides with olive oil cooking spray. Preheat a grill or grill pan over a medium-high heat. Grill the vegetables in batches until both sides are nicely charred and the vegetables are just tender, about 10 minutes for the pepper, about 8 minutes for the eggplant and onion, and about 6 minutes for the zucchini. When the vegetables are cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and oregano. Pour over the vegetables and toss. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Gently stir in the tomatoes and mint. Divide the salad between 4 plates and sprinkle with the feta.

Stir in 1 tablespoon each chopped oregano and parsley, 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Let cool; pour over 4 ounces crumbled feta. Brush the eggplant with olive oil; grill over medium-high heat, 5 minutes per side. Top with the feta.

GRILLED AUBERGINE WITH FETA AND MINT BUNDLES

Steps:

• First of all, wipe clean the aubergines, trim off the stalk ends and slice them thinly lengthways into 16-18 thin slices altogether.
• Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with oil.
• Pre-heat your grill/griddle to the highest setting, and when hot, cook the slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side till they are golden and soft.
• In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese and add in the chopped mint, chopped chilli and lemon juice and season with black pepper (there is no need to add salt since Feta cheese is quite salty by itself) and give it all a good stir.
• Place a heaped teaspoon of the cheese mixture along the centre of the aubergine slices and roll up each slice to form a bundle.
• Place the overlapping ends down onto a serving plate, and sprinkle with a little more mint.

FETA TABBOULEH WITH AUBERGINES

Sear the strips on a hot griddle or in a frying pan for 3 mins each side until charred and softened.
• Tip the bulgur wheat into a large bowl with the chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, feta and mint, then pour over the remaining garlicky oil and the lemon juice. Mix and season well, then pile onto plates with the charred aubergines.
