[:de]Zutaten[:en]Ingredients[:]

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 big eggplant
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika powder
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 Medjool dates pitted
  • 4 slices wholegrain or sourdough bread

For the dip:

  • 3 tsp medium hot mustard
  • 2 tsp plum jam
  • 2 Medjool dates pitted
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric

Additional:

  • 1 spring onion sliced
  • sesame seeds (optional)

[:de]Anleitung[:en]Instructions[:]

  1. Wash the eggplant and cut into slices about 1 cm | 0,5" thick.

  2. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat and fry the aubergine slices for about 5 minutes from one side.

    Then turn over and add another tbsp of oil to the pan to allow the other side of the slices to brown well. Roast again for 5 minutes.

  3. Turn the eggplant slices again and reduce the heat. Now season with garlic, paprika, salt & pepper. Halve the dates and cut into pieces and add to the slices in the pan, turning now & then. Leave on the stove for another 5 minutes. If the slices have a fairly soft consistency, then they're done.

  4. While the eggplant is frying, prepare the mustard dip.

    Mash the dates well with a fork, add the remaining ingredients and mix until everything comes together - done!

  5. Now build your sandwich:

    Butter 1 slice of bread with 1/4 of the mustard dip, cover with 3-4 eggplant slices, spread 1/4 of the fried date pieces on top and garnish with spring onion and sesame.
