- Recipe
- Medium eggplant1 unit(s)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil4 tablespoon
- Annatto seeds1 tablespoon
- Salt2 coffee spoon
- Small garlic cloves2 unit(s)
- Cumin1 coffee spoon
- Pepperoni Pepper1 teaspoon
- Chopped coriander seeds1 teaspoon
- Cured goat cheese50 g
- Firm curd170 g
- Fresh coriander leaves to taste
- chopped Brazil nuts1 tablespoon
- Chopped cashews1 tablespoon
- Bake the eggplant directly over the stove flame, turning every minute so it doesn't burn, until it's completely tender (15-20 minutes). Take it to a closed container or covered with plastic film and set aside.
- Remove the annatto seeds (annatto can be found in some street fairs) and place on a low heat with 3.5 tablespoons of oil. Always stir until it starts to form small bubbles and then count 5 minutes and keep stirring without letting the oil boil until you get a colorful and aromatic result. This process can be replaced by the use of coloral, but as the coloral contains manioc flour or cornmeal, the result may be a little different. Remove the seeds (it is not difficult to remove with a spoon but you can use a sieve), add the chopped garlic and spices and a pinch of salt. Heat for another 5 minutes, during this time roast the chestnuts over low heat in a frying pan until golden brown, being careful not to burn them. Turn off and let the oil cool in the skillet.
- In a bowl, mash the cheese well with a fork, add the curds, 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Mix everything very well until you have a paste and keep it in the fridge.
- Peel the eggplant carefully so that it remains whole and cut in half lengthwise keeping the two halves together by the stem.
- On a plate spread the curd cream and arrange the open eggplant on top. Drizzle with the seasoned olive oil, a handful of the roasted chestnuts and the coriander leaves. Serve this beautiful starter with pita bread and you will be amazed. Have a good time!!
