Where it comes from
Berenjenas fritas con miel de caña are crisp fried aubergine strips drizzled with cane-sugar molasses, a signature of Córdoba, Málaga and wider Andalusia. The salty-sweet pairing reflects the region's Moorish culinary heritage, when aubergines and sugar cane were introduced. It is one of the most popular vegetarian hot tapas of the south.
