      For the fried caper berries:
      Mix the breadcrumbs with the grated Grana Padano. Toss the capers in this mixture. Then fry golden brown.

      STEP 3

      For the aubergine:
      Peel and slice the aubergine. Sprinkle with salt and leave on kitchen paper for about 10-20 min. Place the slices in a bowl then sprinkle some sugar and curry on them.
      Mix flour and Grana Padano (1 to 1) and coat the slices of aubergine. Fry in the olive oil and rosemary until golden (medium heat).

      STEP 4

      For the tartare:
      Mix all the ingredients together and check for seasoning.
