Aubergine dip (Melitzanosalata)

I have mentioned before that I do love Eggplants I made this dip that I think you might enjoy. The Greek cuisine has many different types of Appetizers besides Tzatziki which is the top contender of the bunch. Just a small fact about the Eggplant which is considered a berry, just like the watermelon, tomato, and the blueberry, and yet it is considered a vegetable in the Culinary world, what an interesting fact.
This is such a scrumptious recipe for the summer and so easy to make. It is a great dip to add too your menu if your having a summer party.
Oh!! I will be posting another Appetizer that involves Shrimps very soon; :)

Peel the skin off the eggplant and add them into your food processor and mix until smooth, then add in the garlic. Pour the mix into a bowl and slowly pour in the Olive Oil while mixing with a fork, add in the vinegar, salt, pepper and continue the mixing process. Your dip has to have a smooth texture, if the Oil is not enough, just add a bit more until it is smooth.

Place in the refrigerator to cool for a while before eating. Some do enjoy eating this dip warm but I think the taste is stronger eaten cold. Kali Orexi !!!
