Eggplant Caviar

Source: Mom

1 eggplant
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 tablespoons parsley
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped and rinsed

Bake eggplant whole and unpeeled for 1 hour at 450 in baking dish. Peel. Place eggplant in a bowl. Chop or mash. Add all of the other ingredients. Mix well. Chill.

It's important that the garlic gets cooked a bit by the residual heat of the eggplant, or else the dish comes out overwhelmingly garlicky.
