Ingredients
- 2 large aubergines
- 2 Tbsp spice rub or dry rub (homemade herbal mix)
- 4 Tbsp melted extra virgin coconut oil
- 4 rustic hot dog buns
- 4 Tbsp ketchup or other preferred sauce
- 6 Tbsp kimchi (with turmeric and black pepper from Loving Foods)
Ingredients for the homemade dry rub
- 3 Tbsp Khoisan fleur de sel
- 3 Tbsp coconut blossom sugar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (can be spiced up)
- 2 tsp paprika powder
- 3 tsp curry powder
- 3 tsp fried garlic
Preparation
- Mix all the dry rub ingredients together. (You can make this at any time and store it in an airtight sealed jar.)
- Cut the aubergines lengthwise into slices.
- Sprinkle the dry rub mix over the slices and add the running coconut oil.
- Rub the dry rub mix together with the oil into the aubergine slices.
- Leave them like this for a while, at least half an hour or overnight, so that the spice mix (rub) can be properly absorbed.
- Grill the aubergines on a gently smouldering (charcoal) BBQ or in a grill pan until they are all cooked and lightly charred.
- Cut the hot dog buns open and briefly grill them face-down.
- Spread ketchup or any preferred sauce on the buns.
- Place a slice (or two) of aubergine on top and garnish with a few spoons of kimchi.
- Bon appétit!
