Spanish term

granada de berenjenas

Spanish to English Social Sciences Cooking / Culinary Menus from Mallorca
Granada de berenjenas con salsa de tomate

No further context I'm afraid, since this is from a list of sample dishes available in restaurants in Mallorca. Looking on the net, I get the impression that "granada" might mean "gratin" (in this case with red peppers and tomato) but I would be delighted to receive confirmation from any of my colleagues who live on the island or know of this dish.

UK Eng.
Thanks in advance.

Recipes from Mallorca My mother in law used to make what she called a Granada d’alberginies, which I always consdiered to be an omelette - as in deep Spanish type of omelette: appearance, flavour, texture, etc. The main ingredients were aubergine instead of potato, with minced meat and (red) peppers, as well as the egg. It was considered a family treat. My wife tells me that while many people do give this name to a type of omelette, there are also many others who cook it in a bain-marie. Whatever the case, the dish is heavy on eggs; whether the variant in question is an omelette type of thing or a vegetable terrine type of thing depends on the chef. It is definitely not a sweet dish.
I think Charles Davis is on the right lines.

Isamar No, you're quite right to ask, because the list does have headings and I forgot to mention that. It appears in the list of "primeras".
Isamar Mar 21, 2011:
Hi Kate, Sorry, just seen it's not a menu. Is is in a particular section of the list?

aubergine terrine / loaf

To be honest, I'm not totally confident that terrine is the right word for this, but it certainly looks like one to me. It consists basically of chopped aubergine and red pepper with garlic and parsley, plus eggs and a bit of cream, and it is baked in a mould and served with tomato sauce. It's a starter.

Here's a video of the chef Fernando Pastor making and explaining "granada de berenjenas" at the Ca Na Cuco Restaurant in Calvia, Mallorca. His end result, turned out onto a plate, looks very like a terrine, I think.

However, in this bilingual web page on Mallorca, the same video is described as "Fernando Pastor prepares an Aubergine Loaf at Ca Na Cuco"
http://www.skybluemallorca.com/public/1783print.cfm

So that's another possibility. In any case, I expect the wisest policy, if possible, will be to leave the original name and add an English equivalent in parentheses or whatever.

There are quite a few recipes for this on the Internet. Here are a couple:

Thanks very much, Rick :) Very interesting discussion entry. I agree the recipe seems heavy on eggs. I've seen it described as a kind of "flan".

aubergine sorbet

I know this sounds strange but in research I did for a cookery book with Rosa Rovar we found an aubergine sorbet recipe from Andalucia but discovered there are also sweet aubergine dishes in Mallorca and Murcia too.

Aubergine terrine

Looking at a photo of this dish on the Internet, it looks very much to me to what is here referred to as a terrine.
