Baked eggplant cutlets with couscous breading

Breaded eggplants are a tasty and irresistibly crunchy side dish, rich in flavor and very simple to make. Here is our version with couscous. The recipe is by our Francesca Lucisano, food blogger at Giallo Zafferano!

Ingredients for 4 people:

2 eggplants
200 g of chickpea couscous
2 eggs
salt to taste
extra virgin olive oil to taste

Preparation:

Wash the eggplants, remove the stem, slice them to a thickness of one centimeter, and grill them on a very hot grill. Set them aside.

Beat the eggs in a plate and place the chickpea couscous in another plate. Take the grilled eggplant slices and dip them first in the egg and then in the couscous.

Press firmly to ensure perfect adhesion. Arrange the eggplant slices on a baking tray and drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 20 minutes. After this time, serve at the table.
