MELITZANOSALATA / EGGPLANT SALAD (Cyprus recipe)




Prep Time: 50 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes



Ingredients:

Four medium size eggplants/aubergines
Three garlic cloves
1/2 cup of virgin olive oil
some salt and pepper

Preparation:

Put the eggplants in the oven, and cook until they feel very soft (about 40 minutes in a normal oven). Using a sharp knife, slice in half, and using a spoon, remove the inside 'meat' and place in a bowl. If the eggplants are well done, the inside should come out very easily. Put the garlic cloves in a garlic press and spread the garlic on top of the eggplant. Using a fork, start mixing the garlic and the eggplants together, and spread the oil a little at a time. When the oil is absorbed, the salad is ready. Put in a fridge to cool and serve with sprinkled parsley. Eggplant salad (also called poor man's caviar) is eaten with pita bread
