This dish is quick to make, incredibly tasty and a feast for the eyes, too. Whether you serve it as an aperitif, accompaniment or snack, you'll definitely win people over with this dish. Thanks to their slight acidity, redcurrants are a perfect addition. If they are not in season, however, pomegranate seeds will also go well with these aubergines.
