Charlotte is most often associated with instant pie, mainly made from apples. However, the filling for such a dish can be almost any ingredient, for example, eggplant. Charlotte with eggplant is ideal for both everyday and festive table.
It is necessary
2 small eggplants, 2 tomatoes, a few chili peppers, 2 cloves of garlic, half a glass of pine nuts, 10-15 g of cilantro, salt, spices, herbs, vegetable oil, ready-made shortbread dough
Instructions
Step 1
Fry chopped, onion and garlic in a hot skillet. Once the onions are browned, add finely chopped eggplants and tomatoes to the contents. It is better to peel the eggplants first and remove the seeds.
Step 2
Gradually add pine nuts, greens, cilantro and chili peppers to the resulting mass. All ingredients must be simmered until tender.
Step 3
To further cook eggplant charlotte, you will need a baking dish. It must be lightly greased with oil, and then put shortbread dough on it. This should be done in such a way that the edges of the dough "overhang" the edges of the mold.
Step 4
Spread the prepared filling evenly in the shortcrust pastry. Gently fold over the remaining edges of the dough. You need to bake charlotte for about 20-25 minutes. A few minutes before cooking, you can sprinkle the pie with grated cheese, herbs, or garnish with chopped tomatoes.
