Eggplant Ikra Spread
Eggplant Ikra Spread is a cooked vegetable appetizer combining baked eggplant, sautéed onions, and tomato sauce seasoned with salt and black pepper. The baking softens the eggplants, which are then peeled and finely chopped before simmering with golden onions and tomato sauce. The final dish is a savory, mildly tangy spread with a tender texture, served as a flavorful side or appetizer.
