Melitzanosalata (Greek Eggplant Dip)
- Pierce the eggplants all over with a fork.
- Place them directly over the flame on a gas stove, using high heat.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning them until they are charred on all sides evenly.
- If you don’t have a gas stove, simply place them on the oven rack and cook for about 40 minutes in an 180* C preheated oven.
- They are ready, if you pierce them and they are soft. Set them aside for 10 minutes to cool.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh and transfer to a thin kitchen towel.
- Wrap it in the towel and squeeze to remove as much liquid from the eggplant flesh as possible.
- Roughly chop the eggplant and set aside in a bowl.
- Add in the bowl with eggplant the vegan mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, onion and garlic.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir until all of the ingredients are completely combined and season to taste.
- To serve, garnish with spring onion, parsley and drizzle with some Greek extra virgin olive oil.
