Servings 4
Ingredients
- 5 small to medium aubergines (eggplants)
- 2 red peppers
- 2 large cloves garlic (peeled & crushed)
- 1 handful flat leaf parsley (roughly chopped)
- 3 dessert spoons olive oil
- 2 dessert spoons vinegar
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to
220 °C. - Arrange your aubergines (eggplants) and peppers on a baking tray and bake in the centre of the oven for 20-30 minutes until they have softened.
- Remove the aubergines and peppers from the oven and allow to cool.
- Once cool, peel and deseed your peppers. The skin will peel away easily.
- Roughly chop the peppers and add to a bowl.
- Now take your aubergines and run a sharp knife, lengthways, from top to bottom, allowing them to fall open.
- Hold the stalk of the aubergine and gently run a teaspoon through the pulp to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds.
- Now remove the rest of the aubergine pulp with your teaspoon, roughly chop it and add that to the peppers in the bowl.
- Add your chopped parsley.
- Now add the rest of your ingredients and give everything a good mix.
- Do a taste test and add more vinegar or oil if necessary.
- Once you're happy with the flavours, place your aubergine salad in the fridge to chill.
Notes
- As with all our recipes, nutrition information is approximate. This will depend on the weight of your aubergines and how much oil or other ingredients you want to use.
- You can make this roasted aubergine salad to your own taste.
- When removing the seeds from the aubergines, don't worry too much about getting every last one. Just the excess. Removing the seeds reduces the bitter taste.
