ROASTED EGGPLANT LENTIL SALAD (AUBERGINE SALAD)



Roasted Eggplant Lentil Salad (Aubergine Salad) image

Recipe video above. Lentils and roasted eggplant (aubergine) is such a great combination - especially when you infuse the lentils with flavour by cooking them in a seasoned broth, and you try my method of roasting eggplant so they stay plump and juicy inside with great caramelisation on the outside! (For more roasted eggplant uses, visit this roasted eggplant recipe).Great to serve at a brunch as a main - it holds up well for hours. Serve warm, or at room temp. Serves 3 to 4 as main, 8 - 10 as a side.
