NADIA'S "SALATA DE VINETE" EGGPLANT SALAD SPREAD
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pierce the eggplant skins in several places with a fork. Set the eggplants on a baking sheet and roast until soft and the skin is charred, 30 to 45 minutes, turning a few times for even roasting.
- When done, cut off the stems and peel the eggplants. Cut a slit along the side of each eggplant and transfer the eggplants to a strainer for a couple of minutes to allow the juices to drain.
- Finely chop the eggplants with a knife until they form a smooth puree. Add the eggplant puree to a bowl and stir in the olive oil and lemon juice until well-blended; taste and add more olive oil and lemon juice if desired. Add the onion and mix in the mayonnaise, adding more if needed. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with dill and refrigerate for at least one hour to chill.

Steps:
- Poke the eggplant flesh in several places with a knife (this allows steam to escape when cooking).
- Remove the stems from the peppers and core them. Slice them in half lengthwise.
- FOR GRILLING: Heat the grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Set the eggplant and red peppers (skin sides uonto the grates and close the lid. Grill 20 minutes, or until the red pepper skins bubble up and char. Remove them. Continue to grill the eggplant, flipping every few minutes to get an even char on the skins and the flesh is softened up, another 20 minutes or so. Remove from heat.
- FOR BAKING: Set the eggplant and red peppers onto a large foil-lined baking sheet.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees and bake the egglplant and peppers for 20 minutes, until the pepper skins char and bubble up. Remove the peppers and flip the eggplants. Continue to roast until the eggplants soften and blacken, another 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat.
- When the peppers and eggplant are done, remove the pepper skins and discard them. Set them aside for now, covered.
- Scoop out the eggplant flesh and discard the skins. Place the eggplant flesh into a strainer and sprinkle with salt. Let the liquids drain out for 1 hour.
- Add the drained eggplant and chili peppers to a blender or food processor and process until chunky.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan and add the onion and jalapeno peppers (and/or serrano peppers, if you're using them). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until everything softens up.
- Add the processed eggplant and red peppers, fresh or canned tomatoes, sunflower oil, honey (if using), and salt and pepper. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until everything breaks down and combines into a thicker spread to your preferred thickness. I like to simmer 60-90 minutes to develop more flavor. If it dries out too much, add in a few tablespoons of water.
- Remove the bay leaf and adjust for salt and pepper.

ROMANIAN EGGPLANT DIP
Steps:
- Roast the eggplants on the top of a gas stove directly on the flames. Keep the fire on high so the flames surround the eggplant. Roast each eggplant until the shin starts to burn (when you can see white gray color and the inside is soft at touch), then turn on the other side and cook until the skin starts to burn on that side. Transfer to a plate or cutting board and peel a part of the top burned shin with the back of a spoon. Let cool while the other eggplant is roasting. Scoop the inside of the eggplant into a bowl using a spoon. Repeat this procedure for the second eggplant. While the eggplant is cooling chop the onion very small (or crush the garlic). Once cooled, transfer the eggplant to a cutting board and crop it until is similar to a coarse paste. Mix the eggplant with the onion (or garlic), the salt and add the oil in batches. Add more onion (garlic) and salt to taste. Refrigerate for an hour or serve immediately. Optional serving with tomatoes: Cut the top of the tomatoes and scoop the inside with a teaspoon. Fill them with the dip and top with parsley.

- Cook the eggplant: You can either grill the eggplants or roast them in the oven at 375 degrees. Place them on a baking sheet, poke some holes in the eggplants with a fork, this is a very important step. If you don't poke them, you'll risk them exploding in the oven. Make sure they are baked really well, for about 45 minutes, turning them every 15 minutes using a pair of tongs. Once they are done, let them cool completely.
- Peel the eggplants: Once cooled start peeling them using a knife. If you've cooked them enough, the peel should come off easily. Make sure to remove any of the dark peel. Transfer them to a colander over a bowl and let them drain for about 20 minutes. You want to extract as much water out of them as possible.
- Blend the dip: Place the eggplants in a food processor, add the onion, salt and oil and pulse a few times until smooth. Chill for about 30 minutes before serving, it's best served cold.
