How to Make Aubergines Espanol

  1. Slice the aubergines into 1cm thick rounds.
  2. Lightly salt both sides of the aubergine slices and leave them to rest for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Fry the aubergine slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and tender.
  5. Remove the aubergines from the pan and set aside.
  6. In the same pan, add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  8. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly.
  9. Return the fried aubergines to the pan and toss gently to coat in the tomato sauce.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately as a tapas or starter.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
