Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'm making this for International Dinner Wednesday night at my daughter's school. I'm not Libyan, but I have a load of eggplant to use up. Between having a lot of eggplant and the fact I keep getting emails from the Library about books to pick up, I kept reading this as 'Librarian Eggplant Salad'. lol Amy ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 @@@@@ Libyan Eggplant Salad 1 eggplant, about 1/2 kilo 1 - 3 cloves garlic, crushed 4 slices white bread, without crusts, crumbed 1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil l medium onion, chopped finely 3 Tbsp. parsley, chopped salt and pepper to taste black and green olives for garnish Place the eggplant on a baking pan and bake in a medium oven until soft (about 45 minutes). Remove the skin and chop the flesh coarsely. In a mortar crush the garlic together with 1/4 tsp. salt. In a mixing bowl combine the eggplant and breadcrumbs. Add the lemon juice and olive oil and mash the mixture well. Add the remaining ingredients, mix well and chill, covered. When well chilled correct the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with bread slices and garnish with black and green olives. Serves: 6 - 8 Source: Libyan Cuisine - Simple and Tasty by Daniel Rogov Formatted by Chupa Babi: 10.21.07 ChupaNote: whole wheat bread works fine. Either way, leave the bread out overnight. I used a red onion, and increased the parsley to 1/4 cup minced. ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
