Tomatillo Eggplant Dip - Recipe

This simple combination of two contrasting flavors - the smoky richness of grilled eggplant, the citrusy crunch of tomatillo - brings out the best in both.

Tomatillo Eggplant Dip Recipe
Directions
  • Heat grill or broiler.
  • Wash eggplant and slice into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick - no need to peel. When grill is hot, brush eggplant slices with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and grill over direct heat until well browned and soft, 5 - 10 minutes per side, depending on grill temperature. If slices cook to the point where they get somewhat crisp, that's ok - just don't let them char. (This can be done ahead, perhaps as the grill heats up for another dish).
  • Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse off the sticky coating. Chop coarsely.
  • Put grilled eggplant and tomatillos into processor, pulse until they are finely chopped. (To make by hand, chop tomatillos and grilled eggplant finely, then use a large spoon to mash a part of the mixture). Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
