Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large eggplant
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
⅓ cup chopped fresh mint
½ small red onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium lemon, zested and juiced, divided
1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice eggplant in half lengthwise and score the flesh. Rub the flesh with salt and pepper and brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place flesh down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until it remains depressed when you poke the skin, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Use a fork to scrape the flesh away from the skins and into a large bowl. Add parsley, cilantro, mint, onion, garlic, and lemon zest.
  • Whisk remaining 3 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, honey, and vinegar together until just combined. Add to eggplant mixture and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and let rest 30 minutes before serving.
