This is a Romanian classic dish that is eaten during breakfast or as a snack. It is very tasty and very easy to prepare. One of my favorite dishes from Romania. This recipe is a vegan recipe, but can be adjusted with using mayonnaise.

Ingredients
Units
Scale
Vegan Mayonnaise
- 100 ml soy milk
- 200 ml vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
Aubergine Salad
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium white onion
- 4 smoked aubergine
Instructions
Mayonnaise
- In stand mixer or food processor add all your ingredients (soymilk, oil, mustard, lemon juice and seasoning ) together and blend until it gets thicker. The ingredients will get the consistency of regular mayonnaise.
Smoked Aubergine
- First variation: Put your aubergine on the grill and turn them regularly until the skin has become blackened. Let them cool off and remove the shard skin. Hack them aubergine into pieces.
- Second variation: I recommend putting foil around gas top since it can get quite messy charring the aubergine. Proceed the same way as the grill variation.
- Last variation: Preheat oven to 200 C or 400 F. Put your aubergine on a lined oven tray and poke them with a fork. Broil them for 40-50 min. Turn them every 15-20 min. Let them cool and process as the rest.
Aubergine Salad
- Blend your smoked aubergine with the onions and the vegan mayonnaise. Give it a taste and add salt if desired.
Notes
You can add regular mayonnaise to the aubergine salad.
