Ingredients:

For 4 people
🕐 Preparation: 15 min.      🕐 Cooking: 20 min.
For the Preparation:
Salt 1 Tbsp
Lemon Juice (Fresh) 1 Tbsp
Flour 1 Tbsp
For the Salad:
Eggplant (Roasted) 4 Qty
Strained Yogurt (Heaping) 2 Tbsp
Olive Oil 1 Half Cup
Garlic 2 Clove
Lemon 1 Qty
Parsley (Finely Chopped) 1 Pinch
Salt 2 Tsp
Black Pepper 1 Tsp
For the Presentation:
Parsley 5 Leaves
Chili Pepper 1 Tsp (large)
Butter 1 Tbsp

Instructions:

  1. After washing the eggplants, make holes in 5-6 places with a toothpick and roast them on the stove until they are soft. If you wish, you can also roast it in an oven heated to 200 degrees.
  2. Cover the roasted eggplants with cling film and leave to cool for 15 minutes. Peel off the skin of the cooled eggplants without touching the water, or make a slit in the middle of the eggplants with a knife. Take them with the help of a spoon and wait 30 minutes in the salty, floury and lemon water you prepared before and take the bitterness out.
  3. Chop the roasted aubergines that you squeeze out of the water and squeeze well in your palm, put them in a mortar and beat them until the fiber separates. Peel and crush the garlic and add to the eggplants. Add strained yoghurt, chopped parsley, crushed garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice to the mixture and mix until it is well mixed.
  4. For the top of your salad, heat the butter and chili peppers without burning them too much. Flatten your salad, which you have taken on a wide salad plate, by shaping it with a fork and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour.
  5. At the presentation stage, drizzle your eggplant salad with red pepper butter sauce and garnish with fresh parsley leaves and lemon slices and serve cold. Bon Appetit!
