Have I got a treat for you! I mentioned before, I'm not crazy about eggplants, but this dish is one of my favorites, honestly. I would say it's more of a spread than truly a salad, but you serve this salad on some nice crusty bread with some sliced tomatoes on the side, oh man, it doesn't get better than this. It is the simplest recipe in the world, only 3 ingredients and it's just to die for. I have grown up eating this salad, and it's probably one of the first things I ever learned how to make. So the 3 ingredients are:
After they've cooled off, remove the peel, using a knife, if you've cooked them enough, the peel should come off easily. You may wash them, to remove any of the dark peel, but make sure you use paper towels to soak up the excess water. Place them in your food processor, add the salt, and turn it on, slowly adding the sunflower oil. It should end up like a paste as you can see in the picture. And that's it, if the salad is still a bit warm, just put it in the fridge and let it cool off, it's better cold.
You can serve them with nice crusty bread, toasted or not, and just some sliced tomatoes on the side, and you've got yourself a meal.
Now there are other variations of this salad, you could add mayo, or mustard, but I've tried it and this simple recipe is still my favorite version of it.
Enjoy!
- 3 or 4 large eggplants
- 1/4 cup of sunflower oil (do not use olive oil, doesn't taste good in this sald)
