   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
 

Preparation:

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. PETER KUMP - PRODIGY GUEST CHEFS COOKBOOK
