Turkish Food...

Well here is my cooking creation for today...

Its called Saksuka in Turkish but this is my adaptation for SW and its completely free :)

1kg aubergine
2 large potatoes
tin chopped tomatoes
2 small onions
3/4 cloves garlic
teaspoon sweetener
salt and pepper
pinch of chilli flakes
teaspoon of cumin

I firstly cubed the aubergine and soaked in salted water for 30 mins (this takes any bitter taste away from the) at the same time I peeled and cubed the potatoes and par boiled them.

Everything then went onto a baking sheet and sprayed with frylight and roasted until golden brown

I diced the two onions and garlic and fried them in frylight, added a tin of chopped tomatoes and the herbs/spices, then added the roasted aubergine and tomatoes, I added 3/4 of a the empty tomatoe tin of water and allowed it to simmer til the sauce thickened...can be eaten hot of cold :)
