Marinated Eggplant Salad
Ingredients:
- 2 big eggplants
- 1 ripe tomato 🍅, cut in cubes
- 1/2 onion🧅, chopped
- 1 spring onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup of fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup of lemon🍋 juice
- salt 🧂 and pepper
Instructions:
- Cut the eggplants🍆 in sticks, place in a colander and sprinkle with salt to remove the bitterness. Leave for 15 minutes.
- Bring a pot of water 💧 to boil. After 15 minutes, wash the eggplants and drain. Cook in boiling water for 3-4 minutes (the eggplants float, so mix with a wooden spoon to cook evenly) and drain in a colander until cool enough to handle
- While the eggplants are cooling, prepare the marinade: mix tomato, onion, spring onion, fresh parsley, olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
- Squeeze the excess of water from the eggplant and transfer to a container with lid. Mix with the marinade and rest in the fridge for a couple of hours, the longer it marinates, the better it will taste!
- Serve as a side, as a sandwich or on top of a crusty bread and enjoy!
Bon Appetit!🍽️
