Eggplants in a green sieve

Eggplant Dip - Mediterranean flavour

August 2nd, 2018 | side dishes

This dip of eggplant, herbs and yoghurt is a great accompaniment to roast meat and fish. It goes perfectly well with my recipe of Greek mince steaks with grilled watermelon. But even as a starter it is unbeatable: simply serve as a spread on crispy roasted bread. Fits.

Fish market? No, homie, „FrischeParadies“ [paradise of freshness]!
