EXECUTION
- We preheat the oven at 200ο C.
- We pierce the aubergines with a fork, place them in a baking pan together with the peppers and bake them until they become soft.
- We peel the aubergines and peppers, and we mince them on a cutting board.
- We mince the celery and chop the garlic in thin slices.
- In a bowl, we mix all the ingredients; we sprinkle the mix with the vinegar, pour the olive oil over it, and add the salt and pepper.
- We marinate the aubergine salad dip for 1 hour in the fridge and then serve.
- We can bake the aubergines on a rack so as to add a “smoked” flavour to the dip
- We can add pickled Florina peppers
- The aubergine salad dip goes well with walnuts, so we can add 2-3 tablespoons walnut kennels
