Eggplant & bell pepper spread

To be honest, I enjoyed so much our traditional roasted eggplant & mayo salad that I had to try a healthier version and exclude the mayonnaise from this ‘picture’. And since I always roast bell peppers every time I roast eggplants for winter (I store them in the freezer), I said to myself “well, let’s combine them” 🙂 Was totally surprised how well they go together!

Notes

I used frozen roasted eggplants and bell peppers so the first step was to defrost them. Whether you leave them from one day to the other in the fridge to defrost or you use your microwave oven for this, it’s up to you. 
Moreover, whenever I prepare roasted eggplants and bell peppers for winter, I freeze them with the roasted skin on (it keeps the roasted/ smoky flavor and smell).
