Roasted Eggplant Caviar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds eggplant
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place eggplant on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil; prick all over with a fork.
Roast eggplant in the preheated oven until very tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes.
Halve eggplant lengthwise and scrape out the flesh; discard skin. Chop flesh finely and transfer to a large bowl. Add onion, 2 tablespoons parsley, olive oil, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper; mix to combine. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon parsley.
