Lent Chows : Eggplant Salad

Part of Catholic tradition during Lenten season is to abstain from eating red meat. It's a probably a bit too late to get you these menu ideas, but at least you can save it for next year :P.


Eggplant Salad


Ingredients:
- 3 medium sized eggplant, grilled.
- 3 chopped tomatoes
- 1 small white onion, chopped.
- Calamansi juice.
- Salt and sugar to taste.

1. Wash the eggplants thoroughly and grill it.
2. When the skin is roasted, set aside to cool down.
3. Peel off the skin, but make sure you preserve most of the eggplant flesh.
4. Mash the eggplant in a bowl using fork.
5. Throw in the tomatoes and onions, then sprinkle calamansi juice. This depends on your taste, but I prefer not too juicy as it's very sour.
6. Sprinkle salt and sugar, taste it until you are satisfied. Add a pinch of pepper.
