The most humble of ingredients can make for the best recipes. This delicious and budget-friendly eggplant salad recipe is easy, fresh, and incredibly flavourful.

The olive oil works its magic in this recipe. The sesame seeds and chilli flakes sizzling in olive oil is the greatest smell in the world. The infused hot oil combined with garlic and spring onions transforms the plain eggplant into a silky, succulent and spectacular flavour bomb.

  • Peeling the eggplant skin for the silky texture.
  • Eggplant soaks up a lot of oil, make sure you use the good quality olive oil.
  •  Chillies come in different spiciness levels, pick the ones that you are comfortable with. The freshly blended dried chillies will give you more aroma and flavour, just like coffee beans.
