"This is essential for any party in Romania. Serve it with sliced bread or crackers as part of a buffet. Be creative with garnishing. I like to use tomato roses and sliced hard boiled egg."

ingredients

3 medium sized eggplants
¹⁄₄ cup sunflower oil
1 small onion, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
¹⁄₂ cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper
chopped tomato, for garnish
hard-boiled egg (to garnish)

directions

Poke the eggplants with a fork and roast them. You can either roast them in a 350 oven for about 40 minutes or cook them directly over a medium gas flame until the skins blister and char.
Remove the skin from the eggplants, discard any bitter juices, and chop finely with a knife until it resembles a paste.
In a large bowl combine the chopped eggplant with the oil, mayonnaise, onion and garlic, salt and pepper.
Smooth the top and decorate creatively with veggies, pickles, hard boiled eggs -- .
