Salată de vinete · Bucharest

Salată de vinete is Romanian eggplant salad: eggplants roasted over flame or embers, peeled and chopped, dressed with oil or mayonnaise and onion.

Romanian recipes roast the eggplants over an open flame or in the oven until the skin blackens, then peel them right away. The classic dressing is a mayonnaise of egg yolk, mustard and oil with finely chopped onion, and the salad is served cold on toasted bread or beside garden tomatoes; it is made when eggplants are plentiful in the markets. On menus here Vatra serves it with tomatoes and red onion, Mahala roasts the eggplants over embers, and Caru' cu bere serves it with tomatoes and flatbread croutons.
