I was craving a snack...had aubergine in the fridge, and this was the result 😋 Baked aubergine with smoked paprika homemade tomato dip. When I moved to Sicily years ago, I did not even know how to eat aubergines, because they are not part of the traditional Portuguese cuisine, nowadays I am a big fan! I needed inspiration...after opening the fridge and the cabinets, before the impro started, I needed some inspiration, which I found online. The result was: thinly sliced aubergines, sprinkled with peper, smoked paprika, bread crumbs and grana padano cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. Off they went to the oven until crispy/gold and then I served with a leftover of cold homemade tomato sauce that I had in the freezer and which also had been made with smoked paprika. A little bit of coriander and a cold rosé...was perfect 😋😋😋 Fun fact: to the day I still say Melanzana before I can even remember the Portuguese word for Aubergine (Eggplant) 😅
