Eggplant and feta cheese love each other. This is an easy-to-make dip for any occasion or "not occasion". It is perfect as a side dish on the dinner table or as a simple snack in the afternoon with fresh bread. It's very important not to forget to buy good bread to serve it with, or if you are ambitious, why not bake it yourself? In this recipe you can see that we added sumac, which is a commonly used spice in the Middle East. Don’t worry If you can't find sumac; it's not a must. If you have zatar at home you can use it as a substitute. But it will taste as it should also without sumac or zatar.
Ingredients
2 medium size eggplants
150 g feta cheese
1 tsp sumac
Olive oil
Salt
Topping: parsley
1. Heat the oven to 225°C.
2. Grill the eggplants for a few minutes on the gas stove (see picture) to give it a smoky flavor.
3. Place the eggplant in the oven and cook until soft all the way through, approx. 20 min. Let cool.
4. Peel of the charred skin and cut of the stems.
5. Mix the eggplant with feta cheese, some olive oil, and sumac. Season with salt.
6. Top with some chopped parsley, and drip some olive oil on top of the dish.
Enjoy!
