Baba Ghannooj
COLD EGGPLANT PUREE WITH LEMON JUICE
To make about 2 cups
1 medium-sized eggplant (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons taratoor sauce
1 large garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, preferably flat leaf parsley

   First, roast the eggplant in the following fashion: Prick it in 3 or 4 places with the tines of a long-handled fork, then impale it on the fork and turn it over a gas flame until the skin chars and begins to crack. (Or, if you have an electric stove, pierce the eggplant, place it on a baking sheet and broil 4 inches from the heat for about 20 minutes, turning it to char on all sides.)

   When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, peel it, cutting away any badly charred spots on the flesh. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and chop it finely. Then mash the pulp to a smooth purée, beat in the lemon juice,taratoor, garlic and salt. Taste for seasoning.

   To serve, spread the purée on a serving plate or mound it in a bowl and sprinkle the top with the olive oil, chopped onions and parsley.
