Another recipe for your raki enjoyment
Here's another quick recipe to add to your table as you sip on an ice cold raki.....
Patlican salatasi (Aubergine salad)
This takes a little while to make, but it tastes fantastic!
1 whole aubergine
1 large tomato
1 large capsicum (green pepper) or a couple of chili peppers
1 clove garlic
lemon juice or white wine vinegar
olive oil
Roast the aubergine, tomato and pepper on a barbecue (preferably charcoal-based) or grill until skins are blackened. Remove skins of aid items and place flesh in a bowl with finely chopped garlic. Mash as well as you can with a fork, carefully adding lemon juice/vinegar and olive oil. Alternatively, mix with a food blender. Serve alongside cilbir and raki on a fine warm summer's night. Enjoy!
