Eggplant (Aubergine) Salad/Caviar image

This is a very easy and healthy addition to any meal. Makes a great side dish or as a dip. Also known as Baklazhanovaya Ikra in Russian. You will need a larger non-stick skillet (at least 12 inches wide and 3 inches tall). Also two hand-fulls of cherry tomatoes can be substituted for the two medium tomatoes.

Categories     Peppers

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large eggplant
2 medium tomatoes (on the vine or hothouse)
1 green bell pepper
1 large yellow onion
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (unsalted, with basil, garlic, and oregano)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
5 fresh garlic cloves

Steps:

  • Chop and caramelize the onions on a skillet (with a little bit of olive oil) over medium heat until they are golden but not burnt.
  • While the onions are cooking, without peeling the eggplant, cut it into about 1/2 inch cubes. And place in a large bowl.
  • Chop the bell pepper and add to bowl.
  • Cut the tomatoes and add to bowl.
  • Take the cooked onions, finely chop them, and add to bowl.
  • Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and finely chopped garlic to the bowl.
  • Mix all the ingredients in the bowl and transfer to a 12 inch non-stick skillet.
  • Pour the contents of the tomato can on top of what's in the skillet and mix it a little bit.
  • Cover with a lid and cook on low/medium heat. Keep mixing the contents every 10-15 minutes to cook things evenly and prevent burning. If you notice sticking to pan, reduce heat.
  • The dish is ready when most of the liquid has evaporated and all the ingredients are soft and fully cooked. Approximately 45 minutes.
  • Place in fridge to cool the salad since it's best served chilled.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I'm so glad I did. The roasted eggplant is amazing and the salad is full of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a hit. The roasted eggplant gives it a smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients. I especially love the addition of the pomegranate seeds, which add a nice crunch and sweetness
