Servings 2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium eggplants
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 4 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2 a small onion julienned
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 25-30 grams of fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pierce the eggplants several times with a fork and place them on a baking tray.
  • Roast the eggplants for 50-60 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Add the red bell pepper to the tray halfway through, after 25-30 minutes of roasting.
  • Once roasted, transfer the vegetables to a bowl and cover it with cling film. Let them cool to make peeling easier.
  • In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until golden, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant and golden.
  • When the roasted vegetables are cool enough, peel and finely chop them. In a bowl, combine them with sautéed onion, garlic and olive oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and parsley.
  • Mix everything until well combined, creating a delicious and flavorful dip. Serve and enjoy!
