What is Panko Fried Aubergine

Aubergine cut into fanned strips, dipped in a seasoned batter, coated in panko and sesame seeds and shallow fried until golden and crisp.

How to make Panko Fried Aubergine

Tips from the cook

  • Soak the aubergine briefly in salted water, then pat it completely dry, so the batter sticks.
  • Keep the top end joined so the strips fan out, which makes them easy to coat and fry.
  • Fry slowly over medium heat. Too hot and the panko darkens before the aubergine is soft.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve hot, as the coating loses crunch as it cools.
  • No sesame seeds? Use all panko.
