Steps

  1. 1
    Roast the aubergines and peppers whole until the skins are charred and the flesh has completely collapsed.
  2. 2
    Steam them under a cover for 15 minutes, then peel both and seed the peppers.
  3. 3
    Drain the aubergine flesh in a colander for 20 minutes to lose its bitter liquid.
  4. 4
    Chop everything by hand on a board — kyopolou should have texture, unlike the smooth lyutenitsa.
  5. 5
    Grate the tomatoes and cook them down in the oil for 10 minutes until thick.
  6. 6
    Combine the chopped vegetables with the tomato, crushed garlic, vinegar and salt.
  7. 7
    Fold through the parsley and rest at least 2 hours before serving. It is better the next day, with bread.
