Best Spicy Eggplant Aubergine Salad Recipes
BIG FAT GREEK EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) SALAD
This is Andrew Zimmer's recipe. He recommends roasting the eggplant on a gas grill--you can also do it on a gas stovetop or over charcoal that isn't too hot. This is enough for 4 to 6 generous salad servings or, as a topping for crostini, enough for a whole baguette, sliced relatively thin and lightly grilled.

Steps:
- Roast the eggplant over a gas grill for 25 minutes at 450 degrees.
- Place in a colander and allow it to cool. Puree the scallions, parsley, garlic and oregano in a food processor.
- In a separate bowl, combine lemon juice, red wine vinegar, some capers, tomato, chopped parsley and the herb mixture.
- Next peel away the skin of the eggplant revealing charred flesh on the inside; leave the seeds; in a lot of recipes they're called "the poor man's caviar.".
- Roughly cut up the eggplant, and combine it with the remaining ingredients.
- Lastly, add salt, pepper, lemon to taste. Serve the eggplant salad (hot or cold) on grilled bread.

SPICY EGGPLANT SALAD WITH SESAME OIL
This Chinese-inspired salad has complex flavors and is quite refreshing. At the market, choose eggplants that are firm and shiny; they will taste sweeter and have fewer seeds. Make it several hours ahead or up to a day in advance. It's best served at room temperature or cool.

Steps:
- Cook the eggplants in a covered steamer over rapidly boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then peel. Put the flesh in a fine meshed strainer to drain excess liquid.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, salt and sugar. Add garlic, ginger, sesame oil, vegetable oil and hot pepper oil, if using.
- Put drained eggplants in a bowl. Using 2 forks, shred the eggplants a bit, then pour dressing over and toss, coating well. Leave to rest for 10 minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning.
- Just before serving, stir in chopped cilantro. Pile eggplants on a platter and sprinkle with scallions. Garnish with serrano chile, if using, and cilantro sprigs.
