  3. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  4. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, preferably Greek

  5. 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

  6. 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped

  7. 1 small chile pepper, such as jalapeño, seeded and minced

  8. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Position oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler.

  2. Line a baking pan with foil. Place eggplant in the pan and poke a few holes all over it to vent steam. Broil the eggplant, turning with tongs every 5 minutes, until the skin is charred and a knife inserted into the dense flesh near the stem goes in easily, 14 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle.

  3. Put lemon juice in a medium bowl. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scrape the flesh into the bowl, tossing with the lemon juice to help prevent discoloring. Add oil and stir with a fork until the oil is absorbed. (It should be a little chunky.) Stir in feta, onion, bell pepper, chile pepper (if using), basil, parsley, cayenne and salt. Taste and add sugar if needed.

  4. To Make Ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
