Grilled Eggplant with Tomato Chilli Sauce

Description:
I find this dish is suitable for appetizer. It's unique and it salivates our mouth for the main dish.

The dish is inspired by the Italian and Indonesian food. The eggplant is sliced and charred grilled similar to Italian eggplant parmesan and the chilli sauce is Indonesian style. The addition of holy basil makes the dish added to a more complex aroma.

PS: Gak jadi diikutkan ke MFM... terongnya gak terlihat ungu lagi.. hua....



Ingredients:
1 eggplant, sliced and sprinkle some salt then pat dry
Holy (Thai) basil leaves
Olive oil, extra virgin

Chilli Sauce (adapted from Fitri's recipe):
1 tomato
half red onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
4 Tbsp garlic chilli sauce, Lee Kum Kee
1 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp aged white wine vinegar
1 tsp chicken stock powder, Massel
a dash of salt, optional



Directions:
Make the sauce first. Blend all of the ingredients for the chilli sauce with a stab blender until smooth. Put the sauce in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sauce thickened. Put aside.

Sprinkle some oil on the eggplant and grill until done but not too soft.

Place one piece of grilled eggplant on a plate, sprinkle with some drops of olive oil and top with one piece of holy basil leaf. Serve warm.

  2. * Sepertinya waktu grillnya terlalu lama Reg...biasanya sih kalo dirumah grillnya hanya sebatas buah dalam terongnya terlihat empuk sedikit tp masih hijau trus diangkat...jadi warna kulitnya yg ungu masih bisa terlihat... dicoba lagi ya... hmm, mungkin bisa jg dikombinasikan dgn bahan lain yg bernuansa ungu ?

  7. kali terongnya beda ya? terongku warnanya udah ungu tua, tambah dimasak tambah gelap atau malah jadi coklat. atau kali gorengnya pakai api panas dan cepat gitu... gak berlama2 digorengnya? *koq malah nanya balik hehehe*

  13. kadang disebutnya thai basil, rada beda baunya. kalau yg buat pasta di sini disebutnya sweet basil. kalo gak salah inget, kemangi mirip ama lemon basil (atau malah sama?).
