There’s no denying it: we love brinjal! Packed with flavour, this Mediterranean veg has the perfect texture to use it as a meat substitute. If you have been looking for a new veggie weeknight dinner, we think you’ll enjoy our brinjal schnitzels with coriander mayo.

Salt and cracked black pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 brinjals, cut into ¼ cm slices
