Aubergine Fritters

• 4 large aubergines
• fritter batter
• salt
• deep oil for frying

Cut the aubergines in lengthwise slices, sprinkle with salt, and allow them to drain for half an hour or more. Wash and dry the slices and coat them with batter. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and deep-fry the aubergines to a golden brown. Drain very well before serving.

These are excellent with lamb.
