Melitzanosalata

The aubergine is also known as the ‘eggplant’ from its smaller, plump ivory-skinned cousin grown in Asia. The Mediterranean aubergine is bigger and bulbous, glossy and deep purple, feeling heavy for its size. With a slightly smoky yet bland flavour, its flesh acts like a sponge soaking up the wonderful flavours and ingredients added in recipes. This meze is no exception!
