Aubergine / Eggplant Tacos with Cilantro and Brie
Erin Gleeson writes; "these aubergine/eggplant "tacos" are a tasty appetizer… It’s basically just a little round of baked eggplant with brie and cilantro in the middle, folded up like a mini taco! You could also serve them alongside a main course as a vegetable. I bake/roast the eggplant rounds on a greased cookie sheet, drizzled with olive oil (generously) plus a bit of sea salt if you wish. If you flip the aubergine/eggplant half way through, it’ll get brown on both sides. About 8 minutes on each side - but watch them closely - if some slices are thinner, they’ll cook faster.
Enjoy!"
Cilantro is an herb with wide delicate lacy green leaves and a pungent flavour. The seed of the cilantro plant is known as coriander. Although cilantro and coriander come from the same plant, their flavours are very different and cannot be substituted for each other. (Some countries refer to the cilantro as coriander, so any references to "fresh coriander" or "coriander leaves" refer to cilantro.) It can be easily confused with flat-leaf parsley in appearance, so be sure to sniff carefully. Look for a bunch with un-wilted leaves in medium green. Found fresh year round in most markets.

Yum! I'm going to make these for one of our spring appetizer nights. Thanks for sharing!
...I just started my seeds.
Great idea!
Eggplant yes.
Cilantro no. I loathe the taste and the smell. Coriander is fine, the leaves are not.
That sounds quite different.
The dishes look so beautiful and the funny thing is -- I don't like eggplant and I especially don't like cilantro. But I will take the Brie anytime.
That's a different take on tacos - great idea.
That looks interesting - I will suggest at the next Head Office menu meeting. I remember scouring shops in search of 'cilantro'a few years ago - I didn't know what it was and neither did anyone else!
Yum...Yum...Yum!
We just love aubergines. Will try this recipe.
God bless.
Se ve muy buena la receta, adoro la berenjena. Te mando un beso
This sounds like a tasty snack...
Looks delicious.
Interesting recipe Jan, it looks great as we say around here, now that I have planted my 'own garden, cad day I like vegetables and healthy food more, I will experiment in the kitchen too.
Happy weekend.
Best regards.
Hello,
Interesting way to make tacos, they look yummy!
Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend!
It certainly looks delicious but I am not a fan of tacos.
I'm going to have to try this! It sounds good. Eggplant growing season is a ways off, but I can find them in the stores.
Those look amazing.
Now this looks interesting! Have a lovely weekend you two xx
I love cilantro and all the ingredients in these tacos. Being a vegetarian- these are even more perfect. Can't wait to try them. :) Thanks for sharing.
