Salata Aswad

Ingredients

 * 4 large aubergines / egg plant (aswad)
 * 3 tbsp peanut butter
 * 5 lemons
 * 1 tsp salt
 * 1 tsp black pepper powder
 * 1/2 tsp cumin
 * 1 tbsp vinegar
 * 3 cloves garlic
 * 1 green pepper (optional)
 * 1 small onion (optional)
 * 5 green chilies (optional)

Directions

 * 1) Heat aubergines on flame of stove.
 * 2) Peel when soft and burnt.
 * 3) In a bowl, mix peanut butter with lemon juice.
 * 4) Add aubergines to mixture and mash.
 * 5) Add one tablespoon of vinegar, cumin, salt, pepper and crushed garlic.
 * 6) Aubergines may taste burnt and gassy (but not Naemea's), if this is not desired, we'd recommend frying the aubergines in oil rather than burning them in the flame.
