Leelushkas Spicy Eggplant Tomato Spread Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Take rinsed eggplant and either grill (like when you are roasting green peppers) on your outside grill or inside grill pan (like I did - see photos) turning it over every so often, till it seems very mushy inside.
  • No grill pan or outside grill? Place eggplant in tinfoil loosely wrapped onto a cookie sheet and bake in oven for 20 minutes.
  • Let eggplant cool, you can also put plastic over it (see photo the way I did) to help skin loosen from the "fruit" inside. That was the hardest part of this dish!
  • Gently remove skin from eggplant, and chop into small bits, it will be very mushy but keep seeds in and place in bowl.
  • Mince all other ingredients and place in bowl.
  • Add salt, pepper(s) and vinegar and stir all together.
  • Taste-test and add more salt or vinegar if you would like.
  • Cover and chill till ready to serve with warm pita bread cut into triangles (I preferred grilled pita bread - and in fact we used garlic-flavored pita just last night and it was delicious!)
These are the three spreads we made yesterday which I call Eggplant Spread Three-ways - see my site for all three recipes to make printing them out easier.   Close

Although odd looking, that's for syre! It's the wrapped in plastic eggplant to allow the skin to loosed from the eggplant - the trapped steam from the cooling eggplant makes it much easier to remove the skin. Let cool maybe 10 minutes   Close
