Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggplant (aubergine)
- 100 grams feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Rinse and pat dry the eggplants. Prick them all over with a fork to allow steam to escape during roasting.
Place the eggplants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the skins are wrinkled and the flesh is soft.
While the eggplants are roasting, finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley. Set aside.
Once the eggplants are cooked, allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes. Then, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Discard the skins.
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, feta cheese, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the eggplant flesh.
Mash everything together with a fork or potato masher until well combined. For a smoother texture, you can use a food processor and pulse until desired consistency is achieved.
Stir in the chopped parsley, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the mash to a serving dish, drizzle with additional olive oil if desired, and sprinkle with the reserved parsley for garnish.
Serve warm or at room temperature with crusty bread, pita, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
