Eggplant Spread - or Dip (lazy option)


  • 2 medium eggplants
  • garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of mayo
  • Parsley
  • Salt, pepper
This eggplant spread will be ready in less than 10 min (as opposed to 'normal' version - where you bake eggplants and peel them hot :D)


Peel the eggplants, dice them in about half-inch cubes


Put the cut eggplant in the microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 table spoons of water. Microwave about 4 minutes.
(The eggplant should be tender - but not dry). While the eggplant is getting ready - cut the parsley and mince garlic.


Take the bowl with the eggplant out of the microwave. (it IS hot :) Drain the excess of fluids.
Add mayonnaise and mash as it were potatoes. It took me 2 full table spoons of mayo - I like creamy.


Add parsley, keep perfecting the puree.


Add garlic. How much? As much as you like :) I added 3 cloves.
Salt and pepper to taste.


I like it on the rye bread toast :) Also great on crackers and with nachos.

Theoretically - could stay in the fridge for couple of days.
In real life - well, once I had some leftovers for the next day :)
