Ingredients

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Using a sharp knife, slice each eggplant in half, lengthwise. Drizzle the flesh of each eggplant with olive oil, around 3 tablespoons total. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the eggplants in a single layer, flesh-side down. Transfer to the oven and cook, undisturbed, until the eggplants are fork-tender and the flesh turns deep brown, around 35 minutes or longer depending on the size of the eggplants.
  3. Place a wooden cutting board with one edge positioned over your sink and the other end propped up by a small plate to create a slope. Transfer the eggplants to the board, flesh-side down, and place a second board or large platter overtop to weigh them down. Let the eggplants drain 30 minutes or until most of the bitter liquid is gone.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, green onion, red pepper, green pepper, tomato, parsley, dill, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to combine and let sit 10 minutes before tasting and adjusting with salt and pepper as desired.
  5. To serve, place each eggplant on a large platter, flesh-side up. Using a spoon, mash the flesh and equally distribute the salad over each eggplant. Mix the eggplant flesh with the salad to combine and spread over sliced bread or flat bread of choice.
