How To Make Grilled Aubergine Salad
- Serves:
- 2
- Preparation Time:
- 10 minutes
- Cooking Time:
- 45 minutes
- Total Time:
- 55 minutes
Step 1: You will need...
- 2 aubergines
- 2 tbsp tahini sauce
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp coriander (cilantro), chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- parsley, for garnish
- 1 barbeque grill
- 1 knife
- 1 spoon
- 1 set of tongs
- 1 bowl
- 1 tray
- 1 fork
- 1 chopping board
Step 2: Grill the aubergine
Before placing the aubergines on the grill poke them a few times with a knife. Grill for about fifteen to twenty minutes, turning them once. Do not worry if they look a little burnt; it creates a smoked flavour right for this dish. Remove and let cool.
Step 3: Scoop flesh out and chop
First of all, cut the skin top off with a knife and then using a spoon, scoop the flesh out on to the cutting board. Now chop it with the knife and put into a bowl.
Step 4: Add the rest of the ingredients
Add to the bowl the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix and season to taste, especially adjusting the salt and lemon juice.
Step 5: Serve
Put the salad into a nice serving dish and garnish with parsley. This mouth-watering dish can be served as part of a meal or with other salads. It is also delicious with pita bread. Why not try adding herbs or feta cheese as a variation?
Tips & Comments
In Romania eggplant salad is very popular, made with every occasion. It's made a little different, though. Grill or bake the aubergines, peel them off and let them drain, chop the drained pulp with a knife, add slowly 100ml vegetable oil mixing continuously and one chopped onion at the end and salt. (or instead of the oil, mayonnaise). Try this one and I'll try baba ganoush.
hhh
very simple to do in the oven instead of the grill...I loved it!
