Eggplant Caviar

Eggplant Caviar

3 Eggplants
3 Garlic cloves -- minced
1/3 cup Olive oil
1 tablespoon Minced parsley -- (or Onion, Basil or Anchovies)
1 Lemon -- juice only
Salt and pepper

This makes a dip that is delicious on raw vegetables or spread on
French bread, and is good as an appetizer, snack or light lunch.

HALVE THE EGGPLANTS LENGTHWISE and place under a broiler, 2 inches from
the flame. Broil for 50 minutes, turning once, until very soft. Scoop
out the flesh and discard the seed strips. Pass through the coarse
blade of a food mill or coarsely mash by hand. Add garlic to taste (be
careful, the taste becomes stronger with time). Beat in the olive oil.
Add the parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
