Description:
Aubergine (eggplant) and pomegranate flatbread is a delightful dish that combines the earthy flavor of roasted aubergine with the sweet and tangy burst of pomegranate seeds. Here's a simple recipe to make this delicious flatbread:
Ingredients:
For the Flatbread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large aubergine (eggplant)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Method:
- Prepare the Aubergine:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the aubergine into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
- Place the aubergine slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the aubergine is tender and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Make the Flatbread:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing to form a dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth.
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and roll them into balls.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a thin round flatbread.
- Cook the Flatbread:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place one flatbread at a time onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it puffs up and has golden brown spots.
- Remove the cooked flatbreads and keep them warm.
- Assemble the Flatbreads:
- Spread a generous spoonful of Greek yogurt on each flatbread.
- Top the yogurt with the roasted aubergine slices.
- Sprinkle pomegranate seeds, fresh mint, and crumbled feta cheese (if desired) over the aubergine.
- Serve:
- Serve the aubergine and pomegranate flatbreads while they're still warm. You can fold them in half or roll them up for easy handling.
