Russian Eggplant Caviar Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Juels / All my dishes 1 year, 1 month ago This is a nice eggplant dip. You won't believe the taste you get from just a few simple ingredients! Especially good on crusty bread, but I sometimes like to eat it on its own. Omit the mayo, make it more chunky and you can also serve it warm over rice.... More Prep:10m Cook:37m Servings:10	Juels

Ingredients

2 med-lg. eggplants

3 sweet banana peppers, OR any other sweet or mildly spicy peppers, seeded and chopped

2 onions, chopped

4 tomatoes, chopped and bottoms removed

a handful of fresh basil, chopped

a hadnful of fresh parsely leaves, chopped

4 cloves of garlic

1/2 tsp of sugar

olive OR vegetable oil for brushing eggplants and sauteeing

salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp. mayo (optional)

Directions

Cut eggplant lengthwise, prick skins with fork, brush with olive oil and place cut sides down on a baking sheet. Bake in 375F oven for 25 min, or until soft. Cool eggplants slightly and remove skins.

Meanwhile, cook chopped onion in a skillet with about 2 tbsp. oil on med. heat until lightly golden.

Add chopped peppers to the onions and cook 5 more minutes.

Puree the chopped tomatoes in a food processor and add to the onion and pepper mixture. Cook and stir another 5 min.

Mash the eggplants with the fork or grind in the food processor. Add the mashed eggplants to the skillet and simmer another 7 min.

Press the garlic through the garlic press . Stir in to the skillet. Add chopped basil and chopped parsely leaves. Add 1/2 tsp. sugar, salt and pepper to taste and cook 5 more min.

Turn off the heat and stir in the mayo. This dip is equally good warm or cold. I sometimes just serve it as an entree over rice. The amount of servings would in that case go down to 5.

Hey Juels,
This Sounds Really Good. Gotta Give This A Try. Waddaya Think 'bout Grilling The Eggplant First To Get A Tasty Char?

misslizzi 1 year, 1 month ago said:
This is simple and lovely. Simply lovely!

juels 1 year, 1 month ago said:
Thanks, Goblue for a suggestion. You can definitely grill the eggplant, instead of baking it.
