Eggplant Fingers Amongst Hummus-Labne Dipping Sauce

Ingredients:
three Italian eggplants, cutting into planks
1-2 cup(s) matzo repast
1/2-1 tablespoon hot Mexican chile powder
ii eggs, beaten
salt
freshly set down dark pepper

dipping sauce:
three tablespoons hummus, at room temperature*
three tablespoons labne, at room temperature
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Ingredients:
Pour the egg into a shallow bowl. Then mix together the matzo repast in addition to the spices inwards a 2nd shallow bowl. Coat both sides of each eggplant spell inwards egg, in addition to hence dip both sides inwards the matzo meal. Heat close a 1/4 inch of petroleum inwards a large skillet.

Fry each plank inwards the hot oil, close three minutes on each side, until golden. If frying inwards batches, piece of occupation along the cooked eggplant inwards the oven at 200 until laid to eat.

Stir together the dip ingredients. Serve the dip at room temperature in addition to the eggplant real hot.

*I genuinely only used to a greater extent than or less Mediterranean mode hummus past times Tribe in addition to non homemade. Just brand certain yous purpose genuinely shine hummus or the sauce is a lilliputian less dippable.

My thoughts:

For to a greater extent than or less reason, I had the biggest urge to brand fried eggplant. I know a lot of people tell that eggplant absorbs the petroleum but it genuinely doesn't if your petroleum is hot enough. I e'er exam past times sticking the scream for of a chopstick into the oil. When small-scale bubbles sew together the sides of the chopstick, the petroleum is ready. Then, unless yous lower the temperature, your eggplant volition tyke but non endure greasy at all. In fact, it volition endure crisp on the exterior in addition to velvety shine on the inside.
