Eggplant appetizer paste is a delicate, aromatic, and flavor-rich snack that comes from the depths of European cuisine. Its base is roasted eggplants that acquire softness and a light smoky note. Combined with juicy tomatoes, zesty garlic, and crunchy walnuts, the paste gains a rich and balanced taste. Parsley adds freshness, while vinegar and vegetable oil provide a harmonious finish. This paste is perfect as a light snack on crispy bread, an accompaniment to meat dishes, or as a standalone treat. It can be served cold or slightly warmed up, enjoying its depth and variety of flavors.
