Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 medium whole eggplant

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil -- or more if needed

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 medium garlic cloves -- minced

freshly ground black pepper

fresh marjoram, fresh dill, and fresh

parsley -- very finely minced

 

Preheat oven to 375 F. Lightly oil a baking sheet.

 

Slice eggplant into circles, a scant 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices on the

baking sheet and salt very lightly.

 

Let stand for about 15 to 20 minutes, then pat the eggplant dry with paper

towels. Bake until the eggplant is very tender (20 to 25 minutes).

 

Remove slices from the baking sheet and place them on a large serving

platter--ideally, one with a rim. The slices can be arranged in a slightly

overlapping pattern.

 

While the eggplant is still hot, drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil and

the lemon juice. Spread--or in some way distribute--the crushed garlic over the

eggplant. Sprinkle liberally with black pepper and minced fresh herbs.

 

Cool to room temperature. Cover the plate very tightly with plastic wrap and

chill for at least several hours, preferable overnight. Serve cold or at room

temperature.
