Aubergine with Ricotta and Tomatoes - Aubergine med ricotta och tomat

AUBERGINE WITH RICOTTA AND TOMATOES
Aubergine med ricotta och tomat

Thin slices of aubergine/eggplant are delicious with ricotta cheese, tomatoes and shredded mint leaves.

Serves 6 to 8

Approx 1 lb aubergine = 1 large or 2 small ones
1 tablespoon salt
approx 0.4 cup olive oil
7 oz cherry tomatoes
1 bunch fresh mint
0.2 cup pine nuts
9 oz ricotta cheese
zest from 1 lemon
salt, pepper


Slice the aubergine very thinly. Put the slices on a plate and sprinkle with salt. Leave for about 30 minutes and wipe them well with paper towels. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the aubergine slices in the hot oil on both sides until nicely colored. Put them to drain on paper towels.

Dice the tomatoes and coarsely chop the mint. Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan. 

Put the aubergine slices on a plate and crumble the ricotta cheese on top. Add diced tomatoes, shredded mint and pine nuts, grated lemon zest and flavor with salt and pepper.

Enjoy!

Bella
