Ingredients
  • 1 Cooked large eggplant (yield 1-1/2 cups) Chopped up into small bits – it will be mushy looking – so hang in there. See how to's below.
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic – minced
  • 1 stalk of minced scallion or several chived minced
  • 1/3 cup of mayonnaise – we used “light” mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon good olive oil drizzled over final product

Directions
  1. 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.
  2. No grill pan or outside grill? Place eggplant in tinfoil loosely wrapped onto a cookie sheet and bake in oven for 20-30 minutes say at 350 degrees.
  3. 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!
  4. Gently remove skin from eggplant, and chop into small bits, it will be very mushy but keep seeds in and place in bowl.
  5. Grab bowl and place all other minced ingredients and seasonings into bowl.
  6. Stir and taste-test to see if you would like to add more salt or pepper.
  7. Drizzle a little amount of good olive oil on top just before serving.
  8. Chill in fridge till ready to serve.

Love egglant........:)


Thanks for your comment! We made these, well actually my man made it and the other two types of eggplant spreads last night (though the one pictured is what I made today to take to a party tonight I was so impressed with them last night.) And it's a good way to use up the extra eggplants that may grow in someone's garden - lol!


I'm saving to try. This sounds great and looks delicious. Thanks for the great photos!
