TOMATO SALAD WITH SMOKY EGGPLANT FLATBREAD



Tomato Salad With Smoky Eggplant Flatbread image

Buy lavash or pita at a local Middle Eastern market, heat the flatbreads in a skillet or toaster oven, and smear them with this delicious eggplant spread, enriched with spices and tahini and pleasantly smoky from a cook over an open flame. Serve the flatbreads with this Turkish-style tomato salad, a variation on one I learned in Istanbul from the Turkish chef Gamze Ineceli. Hers is more traditional - finely chopped tomato is customary - but you can also choose the colorful cherry tomatoes at the market and cut them in halves or quarters.

Categories     lunch, salads and dressings, vegetables, appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 large eggplant (about 1 pound)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
2 small garlic cloves, grated
2 tablespoons plain whole-milk yogurt
1/2 teaspoon toasted ground cumin
Pinch of ground cayenne
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Salt and pepper
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
1/2 teaspoon sumac
3 cups chopped tomatoes, preferably a mix of larger multicolored tomatoes and cherry tomatoes (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
Warm lavash or pita bread, for serving
3 tablespoons chopped dill, for garnish
3 tablespoons parsley, for garnish
3 tablespoons chopped mint leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Set the whole, unpeeled eggplant directly over a bed of hot coals, over the open flame of a gas burner at full blast or under the broiler. With a paring knife or skewer, poke a few holes into the eggplant to allow steam to escape. Let the skin of the eggplant blacken and blister, turning the eggplant continuously until it is soft, collapsed and completely charred, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Set the cooked eggplant on a chopping board, and, when cool enough to handle, cut in half from top to bottom. Let cool to room temperature (about 15 minutes), then scoop out flesh with a spoon, discarding any large seed pockets. Tear or roughly chop eggplant flesh and put in a medium bowl.
  • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, tahini, garlic, yogurt, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon, and salt and pepper. Beat mixture with a fork, leaving it somewhat rough. Set aside to let flavors meld at room temperature, then taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a serving dish.
  • Put diced onion in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add pomegranate molasses, sumac and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and fold into onion mixture, sprinkling with a bit more salt, if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and top with walnuts.
  • Spread eggplant mixture on pieces of warm lavash or pita, keeping the edges clear, and arrange on a platter. Spoon some of the tomato mixture onto each piece. Sprinkle dill, parsley and mint liberally over it all.

Tips:

  • Choose small, firm eggplants for best results.
  • To prevent the eggplant from becoming bitter, score the flesh and sprinkle with salt before cooking.
  • Broil the eggplant until it is tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create different flavor profiles. Provolone, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all great options.
  • Top the eggplant with your favorite toppings, such as fresh basil, oregano, or roasted red peppers.
  • Serve the eggplant as an appetizer, main course, or side dish.

Conclusion:

Broiled eggplant with provolone is a delicious and versatile dish. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant and is also a healthy and flavorful option for vegetarians. With its smoky, cheesy flavor and tender texture, broiled eggplant with provolone is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
