I love potato wedges, I really do. However, I could
do without all the carbs. So I came up with Eggplant wedges. You're probably
skeptical right about now onto how they taste like. They taste FANTASTIC. If
you can't take my word for it, try it yourself!
This is a healthy alternative without sacrificing
the taste.
You will need:
1 large eggplant
1 cup buttermilk
Your favorite seasoning. I used cayenne pepper,
salt, pepper, 1 clove of garlic, and jalapeño
peppers (crushed) - Be your own boss.
1/2 cup All purpose flour (APF)
salt and pepper for seasoning the APF.
2-3 tbsp of oil for shallow frying
Method:
Cut the eggplant into wedges (about 1/2 or 1/4 inch
thick)
marinate the wedges in the buttermilk and seasoning
mixture for at least four to five hours. I did it over-night.
Next morning or afternoon, just dip the wedge in
the APF mixture and place them on the oiled hot pan or skillet (medium heat).
Let them cook for three mins on each side. Serve
them hot, and enjoy. Easy enough, eh?
This can be served both as a side and an evening
snack:)
P.S: If you're wondering what that sauce is, It's
just what I like to call my "hot and sweet sauce". Just like the name
suggests, it's three tbsp of hot sauce, and 1 tbsp of honey mixed together with
a dash of pepper".
