Ingredients
- 3 (6 cups) medium eggplants, peeled and sliced into ¾” rounds
- 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 6 (12 cups) white onions, chopped
- ½ cup canola oil, divided
- 3 hard boiled eggs, peeled
- Salt
- Fresh ground pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325° and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Brush the eggplant slices with the olive oil and arrange on the prepared baking sheets. Evenly sprinkle with a ½ teaspoon of salt and bake until slightly softened, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Step 3
Meanwhile, divide the oil in half and heat in two 10-12” skillets over medium heat. Add half of the onions to each skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the onion is deeply browned and caramelized - this will take at least an hour.
Step 4
Transfer the eggplant to the bowl of a food processor and pulse just until eggplant becomes uniform. Add the eggs and pulse until egg is coarsely chopped and the mixture is similar in texture to chopped liver.
Step 5
Combine the eggplant mixture, caramelized onions (with their oil), 1 ½ teaspoons of salt, and ¾ teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 6
Can be prepared up to a day in advance.
