Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.
Rinse 300 g egg-plant or aubergine and cut into fairly thick slices.
As you can see in the photo, I am using the delicious, long, purple aubergines that are sometimes available. I find them more interesting than the usual dark variety.

Most fruits turn brown soon after peeling due to oxydation, and this is unattractive. To prevent this, you will find many recipes that tell you to coat them with lemon juice as soon as they are peeled.
