OMG that sounds so difficult!! If I find time next week or the week after, I should try here at home in Holland before ruining my new kitchen in Izmir
Once I will do it, can I ask you a bit more about it? I'm not sure if I understand the last bit with the nwespaper/towel n stuff!
Back to the aubergines.. i meant to do ityesterday, but unfortunately something with my nana came up and we didn't really have time for anythin.
Frying aubergines.. I have difficulty understanding the English terms, so Im trying to get it clear here:
Frying aubergines = cut them in their length, put a cooking pan on the gas, put quite a bit of (olive?) oil in it, once that is hot, put the aubergine 'slices' in it and fry equally by turning them around?
For a beginner, wouldn't it be easier to 'chop' them in round slices and then fry them up?
Grate the tomato? Does that mean to get the 'skin' off before putting it in the pan? So it becomes a bit like a sauce together with the garlic, because when you move it around in the oil in your pan it falls apart a bit?
If I have 'round slices of fried aubergine' and a garlic-tomato sauce, I can easily make small meatballs with it, right? Kadir taught me how to make Köfte and I have the herbs for it, but I'm thinking of leaving the herbs, because it shouldn't be 'over done' together with the garlic n vegetables. My family tends to it saltless and i think the Kófte herbs are rather salty.
I meant the meatballs to go instead of the pasta, as we ate pasta yesterday..
