Eggplant Fans with Yoghurt

Labels: { }

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2015 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




In celebration of World Hunger Day on the 28th May, I have challenged myself to create this delicious eggplant recipe that comes in below the poverty line – at just 33pence / 45cents per head to support the MyVoucherCodes/World Hunger Day campaign, helping people lift themselves out of poverty as well as raising money for the charity World Hunger Project.
If you are looking for more gourmet options rather than being stuck on this budget friendly version, then use some homemade tomato pasta sauce with fresh herbs and olive oil instead and replace the yoghurt topping with a creamy Parmesan sauce as the original recipe has recommended.
Can you put together a delicious and healthy dish for just 33p a head? Challenge your frugal cooking skills, help spread awareness and raise money for charity by signing up here.

Eggplant Fans with Yoghurt

90cents / 66pence
  • 1 Eggplant 33cents / 25p
  • 1 tin x 400 g Chunky tomato sauce 35cents /26p
  • 1 Tomato, 10cents / 7p
  • 1 clove Garlic, thinly sliced 1,5cents / 1p
  • 2 tsp Sunflower oil 3cents / 2p
  • Fresh thyme sprigs 1,5cents / 1p
  • Salt and pepper 0.5p
  • 2 tbsp 1.5% Plain yoghurt 4,8cents / 3.5p
  1. Preheat oven to 200C/400F. Cut the eggplants in half, keeping the stem end intact. Place an eggplant half, flesh side down, on a work surface. Use a sharp knife to cut 6 long slits from below the stem to the base. Use your hand to press down on the slices to form a fan. Repeat with remaining eggplant.
  2. Divide the tomato sauce among 2 baking dishes. Place the eggplant fans on top. Cut tomato into 10 slices lengthways. Place a slice between each eggplant slice. Sprinkle with the garlic and thyme. Drizzle each with one teaspoon of sunflower oil. Bake, swapping the trays halfway through cooking, for 35 minutes or until the eggplant is golden and tender.
  3. Season the yoghurt with salt, pepper and thyme leaves. Divide the eggplant fans among serving plates and spoon over the yoghurt.

I have made similar dish before with eggplant and tomatoes but I like your take which is even easier - roasting both the eggplant and tomatoes together. My version: I actually roasted the eggplant first, then added the cooked eggplant into a pot of cooked tomatoes.

Amazed at the price of this dish. I think it can be so easy to spend money on dishes, but this looks like it would cost a lot more. Love the idea of fanning the Aubergine, I've never tried that before, I shall have to now! Great recipe :)

Monica 12/5/15 15:55

What a great dish for a great cause. I would never realize this was so budget friendly. I love how you've presented the eggplant. It may not always be easy but it goes to show you can eat well and beautifully even on a budget.

A very successful challenge as usually vegetables do not look so amazing on a budget. Love eggplants in a tomato sauce.

What a beautiful dish and so good for all of us. Vegetables are so important in one's diet and so many people don't know how to use them!

Ana Regalado 13/5/15 08:26

Angie , I think my Chinese-style steamed eggplant is cheaper , I just steamed slices of eggplant then add in the finely chopped garlic , ginger and spring onion after 20 minutes . Okay , steaming cost electricity or gas which is also expensive nowadays *sigh* Love your budget-friendly yet very appetizing dish !

I love eggplant but hardly ever make it because the kids don't like it that much. This looks fabulous and I could just make one for myself. Goes to show you can eat really well on a budget.

I love eggplant and in fact had some the other night. I like that you use yogurt in your recipe. Most have ricotta, this is a nice change.
