Melitzanosalata - Foodie Flicks

by Monika Bartyzel, Posted Dec 15th 2008 @ 11:01AM

I'm not sure that there is anything as tantalizing as Greek food. While most culinary regions tap into my moods at certain times, I am always itching to go for Greek. From flaming Opa! to Ouzo, it's all good. How can you not love meals that always starts with garlic bread or pita with delicious, feta-laden salad? It's the type of food that makes diets irrelevant.

To give you a quick taste of Greek flavor at home, try out the above recipe for melitzanosalata, or eggplant salad. The preparation is pretty simple, and in a flash you can have a rich and smokey dip that would be perfect with your Greek-themed meal, or as a creamy side to toasted chunks of pita. Unfortunately, the recipe requires a gas stove. If you're like me and sadly gas-free, try broiling, or grilling the eggplant either on a stovetop grill or bbq grill.
