Ingredients

For the eggplant-pepper spread

  • 1 large eggplant (approx. 350 g)
  • 1 red pepper
  • ½ garlic clove – peel and chop coarsely
  • ½ organic lemon – juice + zest
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, cold pressed
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • ½ tsp paprika powder
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped thyme
  • Crystal salt and pepper from the mill

Instructions

For this delicious eggplant spread, we pureed an eggplant and a pepper together with a little garlic and lemon and seasoned it with fine spices. You can enjoy the spread both cold and warm.

Step 1

For the eggplant and pepper spread, preheat the oven to 200 °C and prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Step 2

Halve the aubergine lengthwise and cut the flesh into a diamond shape; halve the pepper and remove the seeds.

Step 3

Place the eggplant, cut side up, and the pepper, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25 minutes.

Step 4

Take the vegetables out of the oven and put them in a bowl. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave to cool for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Use a spoon to remove the flesh from the eggplant and cut it into large pieces. Peel the skin from the pepper and also cut the flesh into large pieces.

Step 6

Now put the eggplant and pepper flesh in a blender, add the remaining ingredients, and season with a little salt and pepper.

Process the whole thing into a coarse puree, remove from the blender, and pour into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: You can enjoy the eggplant and pepper spread both warm and cold. It is also great for dipping vegetable sticks, etc.

The colonic was one of the best experience I’ve ever had. Ela was absolutely fantastic. She is very gentle and really professional. I was feeling at ease knowing I was in perfect hands at that time. Later on I was given some good advice about a liver cleanse.
