Papeton d'aubergines · Avignon

Papeton d'aubergines is Avignon's aubergine flan: roasted aubergine flesh set with eggs, baked in a tall mould and turned out with a fresh tomato coulis.

The papeton is claimed as a typically Avignon dish, a flan of aubergine purée and eggs whose name is said to come from the mould it was baked in, shaped like a papal tiara, a nod to the popes who lived in the city from 1309 to 1377. Frédéric Mistral's Provençal dictionary does not list it, so the name may be more recent than the story.
