Categories     Appetizers

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large eggplants
4 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for serving)
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Chopped fresh parsley leaves and olives for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the eggplants on a foil-lined baking sheet and prick a few times with a fork. Roast in the pre-heated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, turning every 15 minutes, until charred and soft.
  • Allow the eggplant to rest until cool enough to handle. Peel the skin away from the flesh (if this proves difficult, simple slice the eggplant in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the meat). Roughly chop the flesh and place in a colander to drain for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer the eggplant to a large bowl and gently mash with a fork. Add the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well, taste, and add salt and pepper to taste. Chill for one hour; serve drizzled with olive oil and topped with whole olives and a sprinkling of parsley.

Provided by evelynathens

Categories     Spreads

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 -4 flask eggplants (the common kind found everywhere)
1 small grated onion
1 -2 garlic clove, crushed
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
1/2 cup olive oil
1 -2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 -5 drops liquid smoke (optional)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wash eggplant, place in baking pan and bake in at 375F for about one hour, or until soft when pierced with a fork and the eggplant has sort of collapsed into itself.
  • allow the skin to turn black and charred so as to give a smoky flavour to the salad (you can also grill the eggplant by putting them directly on the grate- whole- on your bbq. Grill until skin is blackened and charred and eggplant is very soft and starting to deflate. If you use the grill method- leave out the liquid smoke).
  • Skin eggplant when cool enough for you to stand it and chop in small pieces. Mash it up a bit with a fork.
  • Mix well with onion, garlic, tahini, oil, vinegar (start with 1 tblsp of vinegar and if you want it sharper, add more, a bit at a time), salt and pepper (to taste).
  • Note: I kind of beat this around with a fork to incorporate the oil well into the eggplant spread- you don't want it looking oily at all, but creamy.
