Yumbers Burgergines

My burgergines went down a real treat at home, I was looking for another way of cooking with aubergine and when a colleague gave me the idea of slicing them nice and thick like a burger, it gave me the idea of turning them into a burgergine so that the kids would not be put off by eating them. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.



 Ingredients:
-1 large aubergine
-1 pot fresh tomato salsa
-1 courgette
-1 tomato
-4 burger buns (or cheese and black pepper muffins)
-1 shallot 



  • Start by slicing the aubergines the about 1.5cm thick. once you have four of these rub each side with olive oil, sprinkle some seasoning of your choice on each side(I prefer Cajun seasoning on mine), then set them aside. 
  • Slice your courgette, shallots and tomato finely, then set the tomato aside for later. 
  • Switch on the frying pan on a mid-level heat and leave for a few minutes to heat up. Once hot, place the aubergine slices in the frying pan and press lightly with a fish slice.
  • Whilst they are frying get the rolls and cut in half. I like to put mine in the toaster for 1 minute and put butter on one half. Flip the aubergine over then put in the courgette and shallots to fry. flip the courgette after 20 seconds and keep tossing the shallots. 
  • Once the aubergines are done, you start building your burgergine. you can also add lettuce and cheese to yours.

Once built you can sit back and enjoy this tasty veggie dish. I enjoyed mine as an extra with hot-dogs and wings on USA Night in my house. My hubby is not usually one for aubergine, but he wolfed this down and asked for more so I guess I did something right.
