Yes, you heard right, veggie fajitas with eggplants – french style. Sometimes ago, we had the feeling than we were eating too much meat. So we had the great idea to replace chicken meat with eggplant. Everybody likes it and now I finally have a convivial dish to make when Numa, our veggie friend eating fish, and Moillen, our non-veggie friend non-fish eater, or my mother-in-law coming to eat at our place. This is always difficult to satisfy everybody (me too actually); but that’s always funny to take up the challenge.
This week, para el dìa de los muertos, I would like to propose you something a bit different, a mexican week! A French girl cuisine is French; but she likes foreign cuisine too. She cooks many foreign dishes from all over the world; but always with a French touch! I am not sure they cook with red wine in Mexico. At least, I didn’t see anything like that when I am was travelling there.
I will wait to speak using “she” or you will think that I am crazy. Below the recipe.
Now you just have to know how to make a home-made guacamole and if you have enough motivation, handmade tortillas with spelt flour.

Love this recipe – love eggplant! I’m in Australia and our eggplants are huge. Would you know roughly what weight the eggplant you are using is? Just so I can get the right amount!
Thanks!
Hi Bec, I think approximately 500 gr. Hope that’s help. I promise, next time I weight them. :-), Natacha
