    Dhruv Baker's aubergine with goats’ cheese & honey

    • Vegetarian
    • Preparation time: 15 minutes + soaking
    • Cooking time: 10 minutes
    • Total time: 25 minutes + soaking

    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    2 aubergines (about 500g)
    500ml whole milk
    100g panko breadcrumbs
    1 tsp fennel seeds
    ½ tsp nigella seeds
    1 Waitrose British Blacktail Large Free Range Egg, beaten
    1 litre vegetable oil, for deep frying
    2 x 125g packs Waitrose British Soft Goats’ Cheese
    4 tsp clear honey
    ½ x 25g pack fresh flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
    ½ lemon
     

    Method

    1. Cut the aubergine into 1-2cm thick rounds. Soak the slices in the milk, covered and chilled, for 30-60 minutes.

    2. Mix the breadcrumbs with the fennel, nigella seeds and seasoning in a large bowl. Remove the aubergine from the milk and dip the slices first in the beaten egg and then in the panko crumbs. Set aside on a tray.

    3. Fill a large saucepan or fryer no more than one-third full of oil. Warm to 190°C or until a cube of bread sizzles and turns golden in 20 seconds. Deep fry the aubergine in batches, for 2-3 minutes, turning if necessary, until golden and crunchy. Place on kitchen paper to remove any excess oil. Keep warm.

    4. Crumble the goats’ cheese into 4 shallow bowls, arrange the aubergine slices over the top, drizzle with honey, scatter over the parsley, season and add a squeeze of lemon. Then serve immediately.
