HAJAR'S EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) BRANIYA SALAD

Hajar's Eggplant (Aubergine) Braniya Salad image

Here in Morocco we have a few very good eggplant salads (slatas). The best known being Zalouk. Braniya is the Moroccan Arabic word for eggplant and this salad is begged for by hubby and friends! This is a lush paritally cooked salad that does involve standing time. This is not good without standing 6 hours or overnight is even better! It just doesn't work freshly done. c.2005

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 lbs eggplants, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup sweet white onion, grated
1/2 cup green bell pepper, very finely minced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon good sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

Brown the eggplant in the oil. No need to salt or fiddle at all with the eggplant. I do this in a large skillet on moderate heat and wait quite a while before moving or turning the cubes. You want it nicely browned and cooked through though not mush. The given amount of oil is enough to do this and I have never had to add more. Your pan will look overfull but the eggplant will shrink.
While the eggplant is browning prepare the onions, peppers and garlic and place into a glass or plastic bowl.
Pour eggplant, hot, and it's oil (if any left, though the oil will drain back from the eggplant into the salad during standing for the dressing.) into the bowl over the onion mixture.
Top with remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate at least 6 hours and serve chilled or room temperature.
Please use fresh lemon juice and to taste. The amount I use is the juice of 1 fresh lemon. Not easy to give an exact measurement on how much juice 1 lemon will yield but I always use 1 lemon.
This does need to sit so figure in the sitting time as part of the cook time.

Tips:

Choosing the right eggplant is crucial. Look for firm, shiny, and heavy eggplants with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants with bruises, cuts, or wrinkles.
Salting the eggplant slices draws out their bitterness and helps them absorb less oil during frying. Don't skip this step for the best results.
Use a large skillet or griddle to fry the eggplant slices in batches. This will prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying the eggplant slices. This will cause them to steam rather than fry and result in soggy eggplant.
Fry the eggplant slices in batches until they are golden brown and tender. Don't overcrowd the skillet or the eggplant will not cook evenly.
Use a paper towel-lined plate to drain the fried eggplant slices. This will help remove excess oil.
For the dressing, use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it won't have the same bright flavor.
Adjust the amount of garlic and chili pepper in the dressing to your taste preferences. If you like a spicy salad, add more chili pepper. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.
Serve the salad immediately after assembling, while the eggplant is still warm. This will help the flavors meld together and create a delicious salad.
