Aubergine and Tomato Salad

Roasting the aubergines brings a sweet smoky flavour to this tempting salad which can be served as part of a mezze spread or as a topping for bruschetta.

Ingredients

  • 400g canned diced/chopped tomatoes, drained
  • 2 medium aubergines, cut into 1cm cubes
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 50ml extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Handful of chopped fresh parsley, or a few basil leaves to garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Step 2

Toss the aubergine cubes with extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes or until tender.

Step 3

Combine the drained tomatoes, the onion and garlic in a bowl.

Step 4

Once cooked, stir the aubergine into the tomato mix. Squeeze over the lemon juice, add the cumin and adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 5

Toss the salad a little and set aside for about 10 minutes to allow flavours to mingle.

Step 6

Scatter the parsley over and serve with bread to soak up the juices.
