Good choice! This is one of my personal favourites and was one of the first Puglian dishes I learnt from my sister's mother-in-law in Presicce. These days, I use fine semolina to coat the aubergines before dipping in the egg, makes them extra crunchy! :-)

Reminds me of the time I was visited by my sister and her brood from Motherwell ... I made tempura prawns with various dips, along with katsu curry (coated fried chicken and rice with a curry sauce poured over).

The comment made? "We didn't know we liked Japanese food".

:D

Nowt special this evening; just haggis, neaps and tatties

But tomorrow; the whole of the wife's family are around, 12 of us, so it's shin beef stew with a huge pan of steaming buttery mash and home-grown kale and carrots steamed ;) Damson and apple crumble with lashings of vanilla custard to wash it down

I've topped up the red wine stock too; plenty of ale in and a few whisky's for the gents as a digestif ;) :D

Will get pics up tomorrow; I'll be up at 7am getting the stew on so it's in all day! ;)

Tonight's effort. Haddock in breadcrumbs, kale, carrots and new spuds with parsley/butter sauce.

Nice bit of fish is what I fancy with chips. Stuck with a sarnie all I could make. Was nice tho. Might try and get a fish supper tomorrow

Trying to be healthy tonight [emoji4]

Fig, Walnut & Rocket Salad, low-fat coleslaw, Mediterranean Tomato Salad, Guacamole, Falafel in Yoghurt & Mint dressing and Marinated Anchovies with Tartar Sauce & Hot Sauce on Baguette.

*All fresh homemade except the Falafel.
