Grilled Rumanian Eggplant Puree-Rumanian Recipe

Grilled Rumanian Eggplant Puree ( A Rumanian Recipe )

INGREDIENTS:

2 eggplants
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Rustic crackers or home-made crostini

RECIPE:

Place whole eggplants directly on grill directly over medium-high heat source.

Grill for approximately 20 minutes, rotating every 5 minutes, or until all of the skin is blackened to a crisp and eggplants have popped, blown steam like a kettle, and shrunken in size by approximately 1/2.

Let cool, then remove and discard skin. Place remaining eggplant in a bowl.

Use a hand chopper to chop finely. Blend in oil, salt and pepper. Serve with rustic crackers or home-made crostini.
