Smoky Eggplant Spread Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Mbe / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago So easy and so sexy, serve it with other small dishes for an easy meal or spread onto rounds of baguette or bread for an easy canape. I like to put the bread and spread on the table and let the guests sort themselves out ;). Make about 10 generous crostini.... More Prep:5m Cook:20m Servings:2	Mbe

Ingredients

1 medium Italian or 3 asian eggplants

2 Tbsp good olive oil

2 cloves garlic finely chopped

2 good pinches salt

good vinegar or lemon juice

Directions

Cook eggplant over a gas flame or under a broiler or, heaven forbid, over charcoal, until well charred all over (about 10 minutes). Let cool until you can handle them then peel and squeeze a bit to extract as much juice as reasonably possible. Chop finely.

While the eggplants are cooking chop the garlic and mix with the oil and a pinch of salt.

Mix the eggplant with the oil/garlic/salt and add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice. Mix well and taste, adjusting according to your palate. Let sit 20 minutes then serve on rounds or bread, pita, or whatever. Superb as part of a small dish meal or for canapés.

Garnish with something of a contrasting colour, olive, tomato, parsley, etc...

If you make this in advance, hold off on the garlic until before serving or it can become quite powerful.
