Unlocking Eggplant: From Classic to Contemporary, Exploring its Culinary Wonders

My Skillshare: www.skillshare.com/en/r/profi...
Here's the thing, Vegan fine-dining is The Thing!🤓 And, eggplant could be the best vegetable to play around when it comes to veggie-transformation✌ Intrigued? Don't believe what you see! If you see an eggplant - yes it is. But, is it really?...🤔
Watch the video in full to see how I apply patisserie techniques to transform an eggplant and cook a vegan fine-dining savoury dish.
Inspired by the famous Soviet Chicken Kiev, a.k.a. Cutlet Kiev, a.k.a. Côtelette de volaille, a.k.a. Котлета по Киевски, many names, but all the same. And, now known as Eggplant Kiev, or taking into account all the Mediterranean spices used, I'll take the liberty to name is Eggplant Athens...🙃

A quick note, as I believe I've failed to mention that in the video. Use vegan Greek yogurt, obviously, if you want to keep this dish vegan🤓 *Original Greek yogurt comes from an animal, i.e. it is not plant-based✌ Thank you!

[@mistybirdbush]

I would love to do your course. I am vegan, I know all the plant based dishes you make and techniques would be invaluable to learn. But this is also what is holding me back not knowing how many plant based dishes there are on your course? Or would you please consider doing a PB only course & include the techniques as well? 🙏🏻🌿

[@HuyHoang-mb1nn]

How did you get the idea- inspiration and resources from? I’m curious!

[@ChefRudakova]

My inspirations are usually very-very far from what I actually make at the end 😂 haha This one was inspired by the Chicken Kiev cutlet and the patisserie technique of making layered desserts🤓✌

[@sidk1733]

here is a question what if we add purple cabbage to the hot water instead of the flowers? also a very interesting and beautiful looking dish as always!!! loved the way you shaped the eggplant into an "egg" !!

[@ChefRudakova]

Haha 😆 Thanks for noticing! Yes, I believe you can do it with cabbage as well. I just have lots of flowers 😛 haha

[@tanzstory5093]

[@vanhuuhuynh813]

Hi chef, just one question, if you use greek yogurt, is it still vegan?? I would highly appreciate your point of view. I'm a big fan of your videos and thankful that you share your knowledge with us 🙏

[@ChefRudakova]

I believe, I've forgot to mention that you need to use vegan Greek yogurt, of course, if you want to keep the dish vegan. Sorry and thanks for noticing🤓✌

[@Markfx_w]

What is the white purée and the flowers used for plating?

[@ChefRudakova]

Vegan Greek yogurt & Orach microgreens🤓✌🏻

[@ChefRudakova]

So, have you found an EGG 🥚?🙃

[@technofoodie]

At 11:22, where did the Greek yogurt filling go?

[@sooooooooDark]

ah there was ur chance to make good use of the "turn the blue water into purple water trick with vinegar" :p purple certainly wouldve fit the eggplant theme

[@ChefRudakova]

I tried 🤓 haha, but failed. The tea went purple, but the pH of a white bread, turned it back into blue... PLUS the frying process didn't help to stay true to the colour... so this was not successful... Thanks for noticing!

[@sooooooooDark]

@@ChefRudakova aww bummer 😂 i guess the purple thing only works well if used as a (powdered) topping then 😕

[@darkcnight]

how'd it taste tho?

[@ChefRudakova]

eggplanty 🤓✌

[@rajeshmoolchandani3913]

One more Lebanese variation For stuffing Mix toghether tahini paste, hung curd ( then u don't need xanthan) , salt , lemon juice , chopped garlic and olive oil and freeze it For eggplant Charbroil the eggplant , de skin and drain excess water, mix in cumin powder, salt, olive oil, brunoise sweet pepper, parsley and shallots. Follow the same process, serve with sumac spiced creme fraiche

[@ChefRudakova]

amazing! 🤩 I'd love to try it out

[@efekansencar662]

What is this pierling in the know that 20 gram in see you

[@paramjeet1185]

Chef, not a criticism, but as per my knowledge yogurt, egg , even bread crumbs ( might have egg wash ) can’t be into a vegan

[@ChefRudakova]

Good point! Try to use vegan yogurt, aquafaba and homemade vegan-friendly bread, if you want to keep the dish vegan. 🤓✌

[@AndrewPROACH17]

Its most like an Scotish EGGplant hahahahha

[@ChefRudakova]

I don't know what's that... but I see you got my EGG joke 😂 haha

Not to offend you, but Difficult Exaustive Impractical And more sort of ornamental cooking.
