Roasted Aubergine & Red Pepper Spread - Greek Eggplant Dip | 7oz

it’s made by roasting aubergine over an open flame until the skin chars and the flesh collapses into a silky, smoke-infused pulp. Hellenic Farms combines that roasted aubergine with sweet red pepper for a spread that is richer, more complex, and more versatile than a single-ingredient dip. Open the jar and the aroma is immediately evocative — charred aubergine, sweet pepper, warm olive oil. This is what a Greek taverna mezze table smells like.
