Eggplant Salad (Salatit el-Batinjan) - سلطة الراهب

Servings 1-2

Ingredients:
1 small eggplant
1 small tomato
1 small bellpepper
1 to 2 scallions (or any kind of onions)
1 clove of garlic minced
Some chopped parsley
Juice of a small lemon and some olive oil
Salt & pepper

Put the whole eggplant as is, (only cut and remove the stem from the top), on a baking sheet and bake it. You'll notice when it's done that the juice came out on the baking sheet and the skin is almost toasted and it becomes soft when you punch it with a knife.
Let it cool for a bit then cut it in half and remove the skin; just cut it roughly into pieces and put it in the salad bowl, it's ok if it has some juice still. Then chop or dice the rest of the ingredients and add them as well. Finally, add the salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil.
