Eggplant Salat
Have you ever thrown a whole eggplant on the charcoal BBQ and then made a delicious eggplant dip or salad? If you are invited for a BBQ in Turkey, this is a standard side dish. The charcoal gives the aubergine a delicious aromatic charcoal smoke flavor. The aubergines are turned continuously on the BBQ, until the flesh is soft on the inside. The aubergines are then stripped of their dark skin and mashed with garlic and herbs. Some freshly chopped parsley and lemon juice are mixed in here and to top it off a dash of olive oil is added. This dish is delicious with grilled BBQ meat!
