Description

Spicy sandwich with crispy deep-fried eggplant, cherry tomatoes and a delicate cottage cheese spread with adjika

  1. Cut the eggplant into large cubes and salt generously. Leave for 30 minutes to release excess juice and remove bitterness.
  2. Rinse the eggplant cubes thoroughly with water and dry carefully with a paper or cloth towel.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine cottage cheese, sour cream and adjika. Mix until smooth.
  4. Place eggplant cubes in a bowl with potato starch and coat thoroughly on all sides.
  5. Heat sunflower oil in a saucepan to deep-frying temperature.
  6. Fry the starch-coated eggplant for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
  7. Remove the eggplant with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
  8. Cut cherry tomatoes in halves or wedges.
  9. Add the crispy fried eggplant to the cherry tomatoes, drizzle with sweet chili sauce and add fresh cilantro leaves. Mix gently.
  10. Toast 2 medium-thick slices of whole grain bread using your preferred method (toaster, dry skillet or gas burner).
  11. Spread a generous layer of the spicy cottage cheese mixture on each slice of bread.
  12. Top with the crispy eggplant and cherry tomato salad in sauce.
