Almost no-oil Pan Fried Eggplant

• porciones: 2 servings
• tiempo activo: 3 minutes
• tiempo total: 13 minutes

Ingredientes

• 1 large eggplant (aubergine, around 20cm/8”, ~400g/14 oz, Note 1)

• Olive oil spray (or other oil spray, Note 2)

• 1/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• 1/4 cup water

Instrucciones

1. Cut the eggplant into 2cm rounds.

2. Spray each side generously with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Brown - Heat a large non-stick pan with a lid over medium high heat, no oil. (Note 3) Add the eggplant slices and pan fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until you get some nice browning on it. As much or as little as you want!

4. Pan steam - Carefully add water around the eggplant (it will bubble and steam, so do this carefully). Then immediately cover with a lid to trap the steam in. Steam for 2 minutes or until the water has evaporated.

5. Check - Use a butter knife to check to ensure the eggplant is cooked through. If not, add a bit more water and steam again!

6. Serve - Transfer to a serving plate and serve! Great as is, or to dress it up a tiny bit, add a swish of olive oil, squeeze of lemon juice and parsley leaves, or a smear of chilli crisp! See in post for more ways to serve.
