Romanian Eggplant Spread (Salata De Vinate), This is the recipe for Salata de Vinate that I learned when I lived in Romania in the late 90’s It is DELICIOUS!!!! It is something I still get cravings for and is a nice change from its middle eastern cousins To get the real flavor you must cook the eggplant on an open flame , Hello Callu, I tried your recipe for Eggplant and the mayonnaise was the ingredient that I had a problem with! I make mine with olive oil and it was too heavy with the mayo for me I love eggplant dishes but next time if I make it, it will be w/out the mayo, sorry! However, the way to roast eggplant is over an open flame My grandparents were from Romania and their recipe is different – we add onion, green pepper, olive oil, salt & pepper Thanks for sharing, Diane :), This is the recipe for Salata de Vinate that I learned when I lived in Romania in the late 90’s It is DELICIOUS!!!!
