Eggplant Salad

This is a relish/salad/sauce-type thing ... and I cannot do better at describing it than that. It has a smoky flavor because the eggplant is charred over a burner.

Type: Vegetables
Courses: Salads
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

3   Eggplants - (abt 1 lb ea) (medium)
5   Garlic cloves - crushed
1/2   Onion - chopped fine (medium)
1/3 cup 78mlFresh parsley
2 cups 125g / 4.4ozTomatoes - chopped (medium)
1 teaspoon 5mlMarjoram
1 teaspoon 5mlOregano
1/4 cup 59mlOlive oil
  Juice of 1 lemon
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
  Salt - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Grill the eggplants over an open gas flame or under the broiler until the skin is a bit black and charred, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Allow to cool, then peel, discarding the peel, and chop the eggplant.

Place in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and toss. Chill before serving.
