RUSSIAN EGGPLANT CAVIAR ("IKRA")



Russian Eggplant Caviar (

Eggplant caviar is the Soviet summer staple you didn't know you needed. Think of it as Eastern European salsa or bruschetta.

Provided by Alexandra Shytsman

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 medium eggplants (1 1/2 pounds)
2 red bell peppers
About 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium vine tomatoes
2 tablespoons finely diced white or red onion
2 tablespoons minced parsley and/or cilantro
2 tablespoons apple cider, white, or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Ukrainian unrefined sunflower oil (you can sub with EVOO)
1 medium garlic clove, crushed or grated
About 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Using a fork, poke holes in the eggplants at approximately 2-inch intervals* (see note below). Drizzle the eggplants and peppers with a few drops of olive oil and rub to coat evenly.
  • Place on a baking sheet and roast until blistered, blackened, and totally collapsed, 45 to 60 minutes, turning the veg every 20 minutes or so. (The peppers may be done first, so pull them out and continue roasting the eggplants.)
  • Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Set aside at room temp - or chill in the fridge - until they're cool enough to handle. (Covering the bowl with plastic traps the steam, making the veg easier to peel later.)
  • Meanwhile, cut an X into the bottoms of the tomatoes, cutting about a quarter of the way through. Place in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for a few minutes. Then drain and run tomatoes under cold water. Peel off the skins and discard. Finely dice and place in a large bowl.
  • When cool enough to handle, peel the skins off the roasted vegetables and discard, along with the tops. Split open the peppers and discard the ribs and seeds. Firmly squeeze the eggplant flesh with your hands and discard the excess liquid.
  • Place the eggplants and peppers in a food processor and puree until smooth (alternatively, chop them very finely). Transfer the puree to the bowl with the tomatoes and add the onion, parsley, garlic, vinegar, sunflower oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed.
  • Set aside for at least 15 minutes before serving. (Leftovers may be refrigerated for up to 5 days).

BAKLAZHANNAIA IKRA, THE "POOR MAN'S CAVIAR"



Baklazhannaia Ikra, the

It may be hard to pronounce, but Baklazhannaia Ikra is a classic dish in Russia. It's a sweet and smoky eggplant spread that's best when smeared on bread. This recipe, from author of "Garden Super Hero Tales" Mihaela Lica Butler, is a slightly-less fattening version of the original Russian classic recipe, and takes less time to prepare as well!

Provided by Joanna Fantozzi

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large eggplant
1 large bell pepper
3 medium sized tomatoes
3 -4 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoon cretavita olive oil (or any other good quality olive oil )
2 parsley stems, chopped finely
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
100 ml (less than 3.50 oz) dry white wine
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven at 220°C (425°F).
  • Wash the veggies (eggplant, bell pepper and tomatoes), and place directly on the oven rack to "grill" for about 1 hour. Place an iron baking tray, lined with parchment paper under the rack, to collect the juices (it avoids messing up your oven). Check the veggies every 25 minutes, and turn them, to allow the skin to char evenly.
  • About 10 minutes before the 1 hour needed for your vegetables to char has passed, heat olive oil into a non-stick deep frying pan, then add shallots and parsley stems, and sauté for 5 minutes over medium heat. Pour 100 ml dry white wine (or water) into the pan, before adding the garlic. Stir often, to avoid burning. Add the garlic, and cook for about 3 more minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
  • Remove the eggplant, tomato and bell pepper from the oven, and allow to cool off for about 10 minutes (you should be able to handle them without getting burned). Peel off their skins, then chop finely.
  • Return to your frying pan, and bring it back to a boiling point, before pouring the roasted tomatoes, eggplant and bell pepper. Cook for 7-10 more minutes, allowing the flavors to blend. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, stir well, and let the dish cool off. If you like spicy foods, add a dash of Tabasco sauce, or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
  • To get a true Russian dish, make sure you prepare a centerpiece while you wait for your Baklazhannaia Ikra to cool off. The picture accompanying the recipe should inspire you. Make sure that the salad, and all other raw ingredients are dry before placing the bread or the crackers onto the plate.
  • You could also serve Baklazhannaia Ikra simply, as a spread, directly onto bread, without wasting time on decorating. It tastes very nice hot, but it is best enjoyed cold.

BAKLAZHANNAIA IKRA (POOR MAN'S CAVIAR)



Baklazhannaia Ikra (Poor Man's Caviar) image

Provided by William Grimes

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 2h45m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large eggplant (about 2 pounds)
1 cup finely chopped onions
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
Black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Dark rye or pumpernickel or sesame-seed crackers, for serving.

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Bake the eggplant on a baking sheet in the center of the oven, turning it over once or twice, until it is soft and its skin is charred and blistered, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the onions in 4 tablespoons oil over medium heat until they are soft but not brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the green pepper and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes longer. With a rubber spatula, scrape the contents of the skillet into a mixing bowl.
  • Remove the skin from the baked eggplant with a small, sharp knife, then chop the eggplant pulp finely, almost to a pure. Add it to the mixing bowl and stir in the tomatoes, sugar, salt and a few grindings of black pepper. Mix together thoroughly. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet over moderate heat and pour in the eggplant mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then turn the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Uncover and cook 30 minutes, stirring from time to time, until all the moisture in the pan has evaporated and the mixture is thick enough to hold its shape in a spoon. Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and taste for seasoning, adding salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Transfer the “caviar" to a mixing bowl and chill, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to serve. Serve on squares of bread or on sesame-seed crackers.
