Ingredients
- 4 eggplants
- 2 large zucchinis
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 green capsicums, chopped
- 6 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 long green chillies, seeded, finely chopped
- ½ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 80 ml olive oil
- Cos lettuce leaves, red chilli and lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C. Place eggplants and zucchinis on a large oven tray. Prick all over with a skewer and roast for 1 hour or until skin is blackened and wrinkled, and the flesh is very tender.
When cool enough to handle, halve the eggplants and zucchinis, and scoop out the flesh, discarding the skins. Chop flesh and place in a large bowl with the onion, capsicums, tomatoes, chillies and parsley.
Whisk together lemon juice, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season salad with salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss gently to combine. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter, top with eggplant and tomato salad, and serve with chilli and lime wedges.
