You can eat these crispy bites with any kind of dip, aioli or sauce that you like but we like them just as they are with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt

Ingredients

  • 2 medium aubergines, sliced thinly

  • 140g plain flour 

  • 300ml white wine 

  • vegetable oil 

  • sea salt

  • black pepper 

  • 1 lemon cut into wedges 

Method

  1. Place the sieved flour into a medium mixing bowl along with a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper.

  2. Whisk the white wine and flour together until you get a light batter.

  3. Use a wok and pour in enough oil so that you have a depth of about two inches. Heat the oil on a medium high heat. Dip a slice of aubergine in the batter and then drop into the hot oil. It should immediately start to sizzle and change colour.

  4. Cook the aubergine in batches until deep golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.

  5. Seve with lemon wedges and sea salt.
