In my Well Filled Tortilla Cookbook I found this recipe for Greek Salsa. This is the first recipe I have made from the book that isn't a tortilla. YUM! I am going to have to try more.
The only substitution I made was my skinny eggplants for a big globe eggplant. Mine cooked in about 15 minutes as opposed to 40 minutes for a big one. Greek Salsa, traditionally a Mexican dish, made with Italian eggplants - multiculturalism at its best.
So, if you happen to have an abundance of eggplant, or want to try something different from traditional tomato salsa, give this one a try.

Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Small eggplant (approximately ¾ pound)
- ¼ Medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 or 2 clove garlic (finely chopped)
- ½ serrano chili (stemmed, seeded and finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- ¼ teaspoon fresh mint (chopped)
- ½ teaspoon fresh oregano (chopped)
- 1 ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pierce eggplant with a sharp knife or fork, place on a baking sheet and roast for approximately 45-50 minutes until soft throughout.
- Let cool 10 minutes. Slit open and scoop out the pulp. Coarsely chop the pulp and put in a medium bowl.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir until well blended. Serve immediately or refrigerate and use within a week. I recommend letting it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
