Eggplant Burger with Vegetable Strips
Ingredients
- 150g of Vegetable & Gourmet Strips
- 1/2 eggplant
- Olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pinch of Espelette pepper
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1/2 organic lemon
- 1 tablespoon of fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon of fresh mint
- 100 g of feta (or plant-based feta)
- 2 teaspoons of mild mustard
- A few lettuce leaves
- A few tomato slices
- A few slices of red onion
- Salt, Pepper
The Step-by-Step Recipe
- Preheat the oven to 220°. Wash the eggplant and cut it into thick slices. Brush each slice with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes (you can also grill the eggplant slices in a grill pan over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side). Set aside.
- Prepare the vegetable strips: Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet. Add the vegetable strips, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and Espelette pepper, stir, then add the minced garlic along with the zest and juice of half a lemon. Cook, stirring regularly, for 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the chopped fresh herbs.
- Spread a little mustard on two slices of eggplant, top with vegetable strips, a slice of feta, a lettuce leaf, tomatoes, and red onion; drizzle with a very light splash of olive oil and a pinch of salt; cover with a slice of grilled eggplant; and serve.
