Eggplant (brinjal), peeled, cut into small pieces and soaked in water 1 cup
Olive oil 4 tbsps
Spring onions, finely chopped 6
Fresh parsley, chopped ½ cup
Garlic cloves, finely chopped 4
White vinegar 2 tbsps
Salt to taste
Bread bun 1
Methods
Heat 2 tbsps oil in a
non-stick pan, add garlic and spring onions (keeping aside 1 tbsp spring onions for garnishing) and saute for 1-2 minutes.
Add brinjal, mix,
cover and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes or till brown. Transfer into a bowl and set aside to cool.
Put brinjal mixture,
¼ cup parsley and remaining olive oil in a mixer and grind to a smooth paste. Add vinegar and salt and mix well. Transfer into a serving bowl.
Cut a bun into
several slices and toast them in the same pan in which brinjal was cooked so that they soak in the flavour. Transfer them onto a serving platter.
Sprinkle the
reserved spring onions and remaining parsley on top of the brinjal spread and serve with toasted bread slices.
