Report
If you've never tried Melitzanosalata you're in for a treat! Step aside hummus - this Greek Eggplant Dip uses just a handful of ingredients and makes a huge platter to share.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs eggplant about 2 medium eggplants
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 60 mL
- ¼ cup Italian (flat leaf) parsley finely chopped, 20 g
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice 30 mL
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- Pinch each salt and pepper
Instructions
- Roast: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Prick the eggplants all over with a fork. Set on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes, flipping the eggplant a few times during cooking. It's finished when it's very soft and the skin is blistered.
- Drain: Let eggplant cool enough to handle, then peel off the skin. Cut into chunks and place in a colander. Let drain for at least 15 minutes.
- Mash: Transfer eggplant to a bowl and use a potato masher to mash it to your desired texture (I like it a bit chunky, but you could also mash it into a paste, or even food process it into a puree).
- Stir: Stir in all remaining ingredients. Serve hot or cold with crackers, pita bread, or sliced vegetables!
