Walnut Roasted Eggplant Salad brings together eggplant charred until tender and walnuts, in a style familiar from Turkish home cooking and meze tables. The peeled eggplant may be mashed or left in soft pieces, then dressed with ingredients such as olive oil, lemon and garlic, depending on the recipe.
Its smoky, silky eggplant contrasts with the walnuts’ rich flavour and crunch. Serve it as a meze with bread, alongside grilled vegetables or as part of a spread of small plates. It provides fibre and unsaturated fats; for a lighter version, use the oil sparingly and let the roasted eggplant take centre stage.
