Number Of Ingredients 7

1 firm shiny medium sized eggplant (about 1 pound)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 -2 garlic clove, pureed
salt and pepper
1/2 a lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon fresh minced parsley
1/4 cup sesame seed paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Pierce eggplant 2 or 3 times on each side with a knife and place in an oiled baking dish. Put dish into oven on middle rack, baking 25-35 minutes, until thoroughly soft to the touch.
  • Once the eggplant has cooled some, cut open and scrape out the flesh. Saute the flesh with olive oil and garlic to get rid of excess moisture.
