Smoky Aubergine and Pepper Salad

Cooking the aubergines whole, over an open flame, gives them a distinctive smoky flavour and aroma, as well as tender, creamy flesh. The subtle flavour of the roasted aubergine contrasts wonderfully with the strong, sweet flavour of the peppers. This dish is a middle eastern take on Mediterranean roasted vegetables. It is typical of the modern Mediterranean cuisine favoured in Israel today.
