باذنجان دبق مع جزر مخلل
Middle Eastern 30 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook
- Rinse the rice three times until the water runs clear. Place it in a medium pot over a medium-high heat and add just enough water to cover the rice. Once the water is bubbling gently, lower the heat and cover with a lid. Continue cooking for approx. 10 minutes without stirring until all the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat, with the lid still on, and steam for a further 10 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice.
- To make the pickled carrots, cut the carrots into ribbons using a peeler and place in a large resealable jar. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and place in the microwave for approx. 5 minutes or until just hot. Stir to dissolve the salt and sugar and pour over the carrots. Set aside to pickle for at least 30 minutes.
- To make the sticky aubergine, halve and score the flesh of the aubergines in a criss-cross pattern. Finely grate the garlic and ginger into a bowl. Add in the tamarind paste, soya sauce, sesame oil, honey and rice vinegar. Mix and set aside.
- Heat a large pot of oil to 170 C. Chop the spring onion and coriander.
- Fry the aubergines in batches for 10-15 minutes or until dark golden in colour. Drain on paper towels. Then place in the bowl of sauce to coat.
- Serve the sticky aubergine and rice, together with the pickled carrots, rose water pickled red onions, spring onion, sesame seeds and coriander.
