Your recipe sounds a lot like my mom's. I'll have to try adding some lemon juice next time.mollyjadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824304845582652321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972268261938239861.post-46126661421481068792008-07-21T08:52:00.000-07:002008-07-21T08:52:00.000-07:00Hi, I'm a friend of Erica, and I really enjoy your...Hi, I'm a friend of Erica, and I really enjoy your blog (or pretty much any food blog with great vegetable recipes). My favorite thing to do with eggplant is roast it until it's all squishy, then make it absorb as much extra virgin olive oil as it can, about 1/3 cup for a 1 pound eggplant. Add a little salt and lemon juice, and it's just delicious. I think my recipe calls for a pinch of sugar, too, in case the eggplant is bitter, but I usually forget to put it in. It sounds boring, but it tastes sinfully decadent.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903667625039887922noreply@blogger.com
