1 large eggplant, peeled and sliced into 1/3 inch rounds
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup water

2 onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sour cream
1 garlic clove, minced

Melitzanosalata Agioritiki (Athenian Eggplant Salad) image

There are different ways to make eggplant salad, a very common summer salad in my country. This is a version called 'agioritiki' named from mount Athos (Agion Oros). It's refreshing with smoky flavor and can stay refrigerated up to three days. Serve it as a salad or on top of whole-wheat bread slices.
