Eggplant Salad With Garlic and Parsley
From midgelet 15 years agoIngredients
- 2 medium eggplants shopping list
- 1 medium tomato, chopped shopping list
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped shopping list
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley shopping list
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 to 3 lemons) shopping list
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil shopping list
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped, about 1 1/2 teaspoons shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper or 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper shopping list
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt shopping list
How to make it
- . Pierce the skins of the eggplants in a few places with a fork.
- Place each eggplant directly in a medium-high flame and turn occasionally.
- The skins of the eggplants should eventually blister and shrivel.
- Remove the eggplants from the heat once they are thoroughly charred and you can sense that the flesh inside has become heavy with moisture.
- It may take about 30 minutes to arrive at this point.
- Let cool.
- . Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise, scoop out their flesh and put in a colander.
- Discard the peels.
- Press the eggplant flesh firmly against the colander to remove excess liquid.
- Mash the eggplants with a fork in a large bowl.
- . Combine the mashed eggplant flesh with the tomato, bell pepper, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin and salt and pepper.
- Stir and serve.
- Note: The eggplant gets its charred flavor from cooking directly over a fire, although households with electric-only ranges can make do with oven-roasting.
