Steps

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 190°C.
  • Season aubergine slices and top each with a slice of mozzarella and dill.
  • Form stacks by topping with another aubergine slice and pressing firmly.
  • Whisk yeast, sugar, vinegar, and beer together, then whisk in flour to create a thick batter.
  • Dip stacks in batter and fry for 2 minutes per side until golden, then drain on paper.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C and insert rosemary and garlic into slits cut in whole aubergines.
  • Roast aubergines for one hour until soft and allow to cool.
  • Blend aubergine flesh with lemon juice and seasoning into a smooth purée.
  • Whisk Dijon mustard, vinegar, and olive oil together and toss with salad leaves and dill.
  • Serve fritters on a spoonful of purée with the salad on the side.
