Edith's Aubergine Parmigiana

From Market Kitchen today radio one presenter Edith was on.  She made a really nice chicken kebab - chicken chunks marinated with yoghurt and spices, alternated with onion and cherry toms on the skewer, then grilled on a griddle pan.

Aubergine parmigiana
Slice aubergines lengthways
Roll in flour and then egg
Fry in oil

Sauce
Slice 2 cloves garlic finely
Bunch of parsley - break the stalks off and chop finely
Fry garlic, then add parsley, then add a couple of cups passata
Can add chilli also

Layer tomato sauce, then aubergine, then fontina cheese.  Keep layering, spinning aubergine so you get more in.  End with parmesan and fontina.

Put in oven.

Monmouth Original Store, Covent Garden

Monmouth is the coffee that has taken over London.  They make the yummiest coffee and all the good coffee shops (including Fleet, Flat White, Foxcroft and Ginger) have it.  They also have a store at Borough Market.

The original store is in Monmouth Street Covent Garden.


They sell their beans in store.

Really nice coffee - rice, creamy, delicious.  Probably about an 8/10.  My only criticism is they only serve full cream milk - not even soy.  Not very nice for the lactose intolerant.  But I guess they are just intolerant to the lactose intolerant.

A nice selection of pastries - the almond croissants really tempted me...but they'll do that.

Heading to Deutschland today for the Karneval - so get ready for some posts on bratwurst, spetzle and all other fabulous things German.
