Ingredients

  • Eggplant
  • Oil
  • 1 medium onion , chopped
  • Salt

Directions

1

Rub the eggplant with vegetable oil, and prick the skin all over with a fork to make steam vents.

2

Place eggplant in a pan, and broil or roast in a hot oven until the skin is blackened and the flesh is soft. Let cool.

3

Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise. Keep the flesh and discard the burnt skin.

4

Mince the eggplant flesh with a knife to get a purée , keeping the seeds whole. Use a stainless steel or wooden chopper.

5

Transfer the eggplant to a bowl, and mix in ½–1 tbsp oil per whole eggplant used. Mix in the onion, and season to taste with salt.

6

Chill in the fridge until serving.
