Equipment

  • 1 baking tray
  • 1 food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 1 ⅓ cups halved cherry tomatoes (300 g)
  • 1 small red onion
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • Pinch of black pepper (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200 C (390 F). Roast the eggplants for about 30-35 minutes. Let them cool and peel them.
  • Place the baked & peeled eggplants, cherry tomatoes, and onion in the food processor and pulse. Leave it a bit chunky. Add olive oil and salt & pepper, and pulse for a couple of seconds to combine.

Notes

  1. If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the eggplants, tomatoes and onion with a knife.
  2. Try it with sesame oil. But in this case, reduce the amount of oil to 1 - 1 ½ Tbsp because sesame oil has a more intense flavor.
  3. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Nutritional values are approximate and can vary slightly depending on the exact ripeness and size of your vegetables, as well as the oil used.
