Air-fryer aubergine burgers

I moisten crumbled bread with little water or milk without soaking too much.

I wash aubergine, keep skin, trim and finely dice, then put in a pan with oil.

I put oil and aubergine in a pan.

I cook until soft and dry, adding salt, pepper and more oil if needed.

I put in a bowl with squeezed bread, grated garlic if wanted and a couple of tablespoons of parsley.

I add Parmesan and chopped chilli if wanted.

I mix by hand to judge firmness, as there are no eggs to bind. Add another tablespoon of breadcrumbs if soft.

I put a ring on baking paper and sprinkle breadcrumbs inside.

I divide mixture into 4, press one portion into the ring and sprinkle more crumbs for a crust.

I remove the ring, shape the rest and carefully place in an air fryer preheated to 190°C. I drizzle with oil and cook about 20 minutes until golden, or pan-cook.

I turn halfway and brown the other side. I served grilled vegetables.
