Toasted goats' cheese and char-grilled aubergine sandwiches recipe
This recipe calls for specialist ingredients, but you could take the general idea and use similar items that are more readily available to you. Didem suggests serving pink potatoes alongside the sandwiches.
Tulum peyniri is a traditional Turkish goat's cheese ripened in a goatskin casing. Köy ekmegi is a type of rustic bread. If you can get hold of both, great; but this recipe will still taste great with suitable substitutes.
Ingredients
- 5 firm and dark aubergines/eggplants
- 3 sprigs fresh oregano

Step-by-step
- Char-grill the aubergines/eggplants until completely soft and they have a smoky aroma. While still hot, peel them and place in a bowl. Drizzle some olive oil over them and mix together. If you leave the aubergines/eggplants to stand for too long without peeling them, they will turn dark and begin to release bitter juices.
- For each serving, prepare two slices of bread. Spread the aubergine out over each slice, and put some thin slices of tulum peyniri on top.
- Sprinkle leaves of fresh oregano over the cheese before placing one slice of bread on top of the other.
- Cook each sandwich in a sandwich toaster until both sides become hard. Then spread butter on them and grill to brown the tops.
- Cut the sandwiches in half, place one half on the other and serve.
