Method · 1 h
  1. First, roast the eggplant and peppers. Leave them in a pot with a lid for about an hour to steam and make them easier to peel.
  2. Next, we peel the vegetables and leave the eggplant in a colander for half an hour to drain the bitter liquid.
  3. Place the peeled peppers and eggplant in a bowl and blend lightly with a blender.
  4. Add the peeled, diced tomato, washed and finely chopped parsley, olive oil, balsamic reduction, pressed (with a garlic press), peeled and washed garlic cloves, and salt to taste.
  5. Mix everything until a homogeneous mixture.
  6. We consume the kyopoolu with a slice of bread. If desired, it can be toasted, for a richer taste. Enjoy!
