INGREDIENTS:
3 medium sized eggplant (batinjaan)
6 Tbsp. flour
4 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Grated cheese
Salt and pepper
In Turkey this unusual eggplant dish is called Sultan's Pleasure, for
reasons which are obvious as soon as one samples it. Particularly
delicious with chicken. Grilling the eggplants gives the vegetables an
agreeable smokey flavor.
Grill eggplants whole without peeling them by holding over a flame and
turning slowly, or prick skin in several places and set in hot oven. When
the skin begins to break and the inside pulp feels soft, slip off the skin
and scoop the pulp into a saucepan. Mix lemon juice with pulp and
simmer until very soft, stirring often (10-15 minutes). Meanwhile, melt
butter, add flour to it and allow flour to brown. Beat the butter and flour
mixture into the eggplant. Slowly add several tablespoons of hot milk and
continue beating until mixture resembles mashed potatoes. Lastly add
several tablespoons of grated Parmesan or Cheddar cheese and cook
several minutes more. Serve immediately.
