Can eggplant be coated in shawarma blend?

[mickeydownunder]

I know it can be coated in flour or seasoned flour, but was thinking about making this but would hate to waste the eggplant if it will not come out nice

thank you in advance

Perhaps including the blend in the flour?

If so, what would you suggest be the blend mixture ratio and would you really taste the blend after it was fried in olive oil? (Not sure)


WHOO HOO!

I would add it to the flour. maybe 1TB per 1/2c flour? try & see. happy cooking!

Gday and thanks

let's see how I go

I just hate wasting food about things I don't know

when I coated them previously last week with flour, seems all it did was come off in the hot oil neither adding or distracting from the recipe

but thanks for your time and imput

WHOO HOO!

Not being daft, but HOW best to do?

Do I coat it? Have not have much success in frying...don't fry alot these days...so am open to any suggestion especially if I can combine it with some shawarma blend I have on hand too! Thank you!

WHOO HOO

Hope you have a great day too!

I had a better thought than baking which is good for uncoated eggplant slices: fry in a skillet/on a griddle (not in deep fat if the coating comes off). i don't *think* you need to dip in egg.,,, i think just dredging the slices in seasoned flour would work. put a bit of oil in a pan or spray a griddle & fry em up. that's what *I* would try.

good luck!

Gday and big thanks for the follow up

thats what I did the first time (shallow fry) and was lightly coated with just flour

I can't have egg yolks and don't think adding egg white sip then flour, than repeat the process will add or detract from the eggplant...

I am determined to master this lol

thanks again

WHOO HOO!

i made eggplant parm last night following several recipes. but the eggplant i did as such...

peeled & thinly slices. salted & left in a colander for a couple hours. wiped off then set between paper towels for awhile (3 mins) under weight.

dipped in egg, shook off excess, dipped in seasoned breadcrumbs, laid out on baking sheet & baked 5 mins per side at 350F. it all worked well. so it took all day to fix dinner, lol. but it worked - not to bready & the breading stayed on.

thought you might be able to use this tidbit.
