Mashed Eggplant With Capers Scallions And Parsley Recipes

Steps:

• Put the capers in a bowl and rinse off salt thoroughly with lukewarm water. Soak rinsed capers in lukewarm water for 20 minutes. Drain and rinse again, then blot dry. Chop roughly and set aside.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel eggplants and cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss cubes in a mixing bowl with salt and pepper, then drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat. Place on a baking sheet in one layer and roast uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and tender when pierced with a fork. Cool.
• Put cooked eggplants in a food processor and pulse briefly. Add capers, scallions, parsley, garlic, lemon zest and juice, pomegranate molasses, yogurt, cayenne and 2 tablespoons olive oil and blend until well combined. Transfer to a bowl. (May be prepared and stored at cool room temperature, covered, up to 2 hours in advance, or refrigerated for up to a week.)
• Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve eggplant spread on toast, sprinkled with scallions and parsley, or as a dip for pita bread.

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a wide pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer 10 minutes.
• Drain the eggs and run under cold water to cool. Peel the eggs and cut in half lengthwise.
• Scoop out the yolks into a food processor and puree with the mayonnaise, scallions, parsley and capers.
• Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites. Top with chives.

Steps:

• 1. Wash and pat dry the eggplants. Roast them whole over an open flame on top of the stove or under the broiler, turning, until the skins are charred on all sides. (This may also be done on a grill.) Remove and let cool slightly.
• 2. Have a large bowl with the olive oil ready. Cut the eggplants open lengthwise and remove as many of the seeds as possible. Scoop out the roasted eggplant pulp and place it in a bowl with the olive oil. Salt lightly. With a fork and knife, cut the eggplant so that it is chunky. Add the onion, garlic, capers, tomato, and parsley and mix with a fork to combine well. Add the vinegar and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and vinegar if desired.

• Heat remaining tablespoon of olive oil and saute onion and garlic until onion is golden.
• Add celery, tomato sauce, and a few tablespoons of water. Cover and let steam for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little water if necessary.
• Return eggplant to pan, add capers, and olives.

• Salt and pepper to taste, and simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
