Eggplant Caviar

Smokey, smooth, sweet and savory. I found this recipe to be pretty amazing.

I first became intrigued by Eggplant Caviar from a recipe in Dorrie Greenspan's Around my French Table. But David's recipe differed in that the first step is to char the eggplant's exterior on the grill. Following that, you bake the eggplant till really well cooked, then just mash it with lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley (forgot the parsley!).

My DH, who dislikes eggplant, didn't like this either. All the more for me!

I served this to my family with saltines, but it would have been much better on a nice cracker!
