eggplant caviar

it's hot, you're on a diet as always (lol), but yet you're not the kind to eat salad night and day (phewww)
You should try then an *eggplant caviar* (caviar d'aubergines)!

You basically need 3 big eggplants, 1 spoon of olive oil, onion, garlic, herbs, lemon, vinegar, cumin, tomato purée, good bred and red wine

Perfect for an aperitive, unusual and cheap... and it tastes wunnnerful on bread!

You'll find the recipe in French here

And here's a photo of the caviar, it looks less good I guess than it is really! hehe
YUMMMMM!



(no this caviar was not another excuse to have a glass of good red wine! tsssss ;)

edit: here's the recipe in English (phewww!)

For 6 persons (but I'ad say for 3 or 4)

-3 big eggplants
-1 onion
-1 garlic
-1 tablespoon of olive oil
-1 tablespoon tomato purée
-1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
-1 tablespoon of lemon juice
-1 tablespoon of parsley
salt and pepper

+ other spices if you want (I added cumin)

You cut in 2 parts the eggplants
With a knife, you do lil cuts in the eggplants' flesh

You steam the eggplants with the onion (I put them in a plastic pot with some water in it, slightly open, in the micro-wave oven, for 10, 15 minutes)

With a spoon you take off the eggplants' flesh

You mix the flesh + onion + all the other ingredients together

You put it in your fridge for a couple of hours (it has to be cold enough)

Then you can serve it for a *light* dinner or an aperitive, with bred and wine :)

Guten Apetite!
