We have previously published the recipe for Eggplant Dip (Melitzanosalata), but this is a delicious variation with walnuts, red peppers and mastic. A wonderful accompaniment for your meal!
Ingredients
12 large globe eggplants
2 long red peppers
150g strained yoghurt
2 tbsp crushed walnuts
1 garlic clove crushed
¼ tsp mastic powder
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp vinegar
3 tbsp olive oil
Salt to taste
Preparation
Pre heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Poke some small holes in the eggplants with a fork and
place them in an oven dish.
Cut off and discard the top stem from the peppers, as
well as the seeds and place them in the oven dish with the eggplants.
Roast them for approx. 30-40 minutes, until the peppers
have started to turn black, so that you are able to peel them.
The eggplants should also have started to turn black
and if you tap them with your finger, you’ll hear a hollow sound.
Peel the peppers and cut them into small squares.
Peel the eggplants, sprinkle with the lemon juice and
a little salt and leave them in a colander to drain.
When they have drained, chop finely and add the
peppers, walnuts, mastic, yoghurt, vinegar and olive oil.
Mix, add salt and then leave in the fridge for 1 – 2 hours.
