1 garlic clove

Steps:

  • Using a spoon, scoop out the eggplant flesh into the bowl and process very briefly.
  • Add the lemon, oil, salt and a dash of pepper.

  • Store in a tightly closed container.
  • Note: For a large eggplant take a large clove of garlic and a large lemon. If the lemons aren't juicy, use 2 lemons.
