Eggplant dessert (Melanzane al cioccolato alla Calabrese)

Ingredients

Eggplant 1 PC.
Granulated sugar taste.
Cognac 1-2 tbsp. l.
Candied fruit taste.
Macaroons 1-2 pcs.
Chocolate taste.

Cooking method

  • Majori, one of the most beautiful towns in the Campania region, on the Amalfi Coast. Every year in August, a chocolate eggplant festival is organized for resort guests and locals. Eggplants with chocolate are famous for their unique taste. This dessert is considered a true delicacy. Tourists and residents from all over Campania come to enjoy it!
  • The dish looks like a pudding. Eggplant slices are fried in olive oil and then fried and dipped in chocolate, spread on a plate. Decorate with chocolate flakes and almonds. Cool the dish in the refrigerator before serving.
  • So sweet eggplants are not such a rare dish. Here's a family recipe from an Italian blog.
  • Peel the eggplants, cut thinly and boil in a little water with sugar and cognac or brandy, liqueur, in general with what you like. Do not overcook, otherwise it will be difficult to wrap them. Place under a press to remove excess moisture.

  • Sprinkle with crushed macaroons and your favorite candied fruits. I had a mixture of dried fruits infused with cognac. (I sprinkled eggplants with ground almonds, as the cookies were unexpectedly eaten.) Wrap in a roll and pour over melted chocolate.
