Serves: 6 - 8

Method:

● Tear the mozzarella balls to smaller pieces and leave in a sieve over a bowl or sink for at least 2 hours to let the liquid drain out.

● Chop the Kadaif pastry into 2 cm. lengths and mix with the clarified butter until they are all coated in the butter.

● Grill the aubergines or burn them over a gas flame on your hob until their skin becomes black and wrinkled all over – keep turning them. Remove them from the flame, peel the skin and place them in a sieve over a bowl or sink strainer to let the liquid drain out. After peeling the charred skin cut into thick slices.

2 medium aubergines

A bunch of chard leafs, finley sliced
