Roasted Aubergine Salad

 Melintzanosalata

INGREDIENTS:

3 large egg plants, washed. Olive oil.                            2 large green peppers washed white vinegar.
1 crushed garlic clove.      salt and pepper

PREPARATION:

Wrap the aubergines and peppers individually in aluminum foil. Bake them at 350F for an hour or more, depending on the size of the aubergine. They are done when you squeeze them and they are very soft and mushy.

When they are done, remove them and let them cool off a bit so you can handle them. Slice the aubergine down the middle and scoop out the pulp, putting it aside in a bowl. Do the same for the peppers, discarding the skins.

Put the aubergine and pepper pulp on a cutting board and chop it up finely. Return it to the bowl and add the garlic, salt and pepper, oil and some vinegar. Mix it up and give it a taste. You can add more oil or vinegar according to your preference.
