This is a great low carb recipe, just four carbs per serving. Aubergine is of course, many a low carbers favourite, and Aubergines (egg-plants) are an excellent source of dietary fibre. They are also a good source of Vitamins B1 and B6 and potassium. In addition it is high in the minerals copper, magnesium and manganese... can't be bad !
Serves Two
1 aubergine, thinly sliced lengthways
3 tbsp. olive oil
4 lamb cutlets or chops, (trimmed of fat - optional)
squeeze lemon juice
pinch paprika
2 tsp chopped dill
1 tbsp. toasted pine nut
Method
1. Heat a large frying or griddle pan over a high heat. Brush the aubergine slices with oil. Season, then fry until browned on both sides, about 8-10 mins. Remove from heat, then tear or chop into small pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Griddle chops for 4 mins on each side for pink. To make the dressing, combine lemon juice, paprika and half the dill in a bowl.
3. Drizzle dressing over aubergine and toss. Divide between two plates and put chops on top, then scatter with pine nuts and the rest of the dill.
4. Serve with salad (and pitta bread - optional - will increase carb count)

A lovely fall meal!
Love.
Eggplant is an amazing veggie. We recently went to a vegan restaurant and my sandwich had eggplant "bacon" on it. So unique and delicious!
Sounds delicious. Unfortunately I have become allergic to eggplant. I used to love it. Now, it takes my breath away. Sigh..... Loved the music.
Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetable. Sounds delicious.
Mouthwatering! Thank you, Jan:)
I have a couple of eggplants left over from my summer garden.. will have to try this!
It been a while since I had eggplants.
Coffee is on
It's mouth watering!
That looks delicious. I might just have to buy myself some lamb chops next time I'm out food shopping...which will be either Wednesday or Thursday. :)
We don't eat eggplant very often, so I might have to try your recipe.

Looks yummy and I used to love lamb chops. Haven't had them in years. They are so expensive here.
Ooh, that eggplant salad looks luscious.
Have a great one.
Looks good, but I gotta tell you; I was on a diet way back in the stone age that called for lamb chops. My mom said 'you're not gonna like that'. Well, she was right. :)
Love eggplant though!

Well Jan, the eggplant salad sounds delicious. The lamb chops not so much (grin).
The lamb I'd go for. I've never had eggplant.
What a delicious dinner! I like eggplants and enjoy preparing them in different ways for a change of pace

Thanks for the link back Jan!
This looks delicious! I like eggplant. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Have a happy day!
Lamb, in any form, is my favorite. Though - I do think eggplant is just strange.
