PREPARATION: 1. Roast it, skin and all and preferably over a wood or
|
charcoal fire, until it completely collapses. 2. Slit or halve it, and
|
scrape the pulp into a strainer. Allow the potentially bitter juices
|
to drain out for two to three hours or overnight (refrigerated). USE:
|
Substitute for meat when stuffing vegetables, or making baba
|
ghannouj, or add to soups and stews.
|
|
BABA GHANNOUJ - puree of roasted eggplant flavored with sesame tahini,
|
olive oil, lemon juice and garlic. Usually used as dip and eaten with
|
toasted pita points (rounds cut into triangles).

NOTES : "If you find yourself eschewing instead of chewing eggplant
