Ingredients
  • • 3 eggplants
  • • 2 green bell pepper, sliced fine
  • • juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 large garlic clove, crushed
  • • salt and ground black pepper
  • • a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
  • • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • • 2 large fresh tomatos, peeled and chopped
  • • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cucumber,chopped

Directions
  1. Wash the eggplant and prick all over with a fork. Place on the grill (before the meat as it takes longer to cook). To make sure it cooks evenly, turn it occasionally using the stem as a handle. When the skin of the eggplant looks quite burnt, make sure the flesh is soft right through by testing it with a fork.
  2. 2 Hold the eggplant under cold running water to cool, then peel the skin, leaving the soft flesh. Slice it into a serving dish and add the tomatoes, bell pepper, garlic and cucumber .
  3. 3 Place the onion in a separate dish and rub with a good pinch of salt, then wash and drain. Add to the salad along with the parsley.
  4. 4 To make the dressing, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the salad and serve.
