Salata De Vinete image

Salata De Vinete, or Eggplant Salad, is a common salad in many parts of Romania. Similar salads exist throughout Eastern and Southern Europe. Often, the salad is eaten with bread at breakfast or with bread as an appetizer/part of other meals. This version is without mayo or another creamy agent--making it ideal for summer picnics.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 quart, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 average sized eggplants (if using the long, thin eggplants, use 6 - 8)
1 shallot (or approximate amount of red or vidalia onion)
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
salt

Steps:

  • Pierce eggplants with a fork on all sides.
  • Broil the eggplants on a broiling pan in the oven. Broil, rotating approximately every 20 minutes, until all sides are well cooked and the eggplants begin to collapse and release juices. You can test doneness by pressing on the eggplants with a spatula or turner: the flesh should give and juices should drain out. (You could also grill the eggplants to get a smokier flavor).
  • Remove pan from oven. Weight eggplants (e.g. setting a pyrex pan on top and weighting with canned goods) and allow to cool and for additional juices to drain.
  • Finely mince shallot.
  • Peel off all eggplant skin. Put eggplant flesh in bowl. Mash with fork. Add shallot, salt, olive oil, and lemon juice to taste.
  • Serve with delicious, crusty bread.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some eggplant that was starting to go bad, so I decided to make this salad. It turned out great! The salad is so flavorful and satisfying. I would definitely make this salad again.
