Hot Stuff! Cypriot Stuffed Aubergines and Minty Cumin Yoghurt
Not for the faint hearted, these SPICY aubergines are stuffed with lentils, making them a wonderful vegetarian main meal or appetiser. You can add minced meat (ground beef) if you wish, but I find that the Puy Lentils used in this dish have quite enough “body” already! These are based on a Turkish recipe called Imam Bayildi – but I have “pepped” them up a bit by adding Cayenne pepper, chili & the lentils! Do not forget the essential finishing touch – the minted cumin yoghurt, it “cuts” through the heat of the cayenne pepper. Serve these with a crispy salad and crusty bread.
