• 2 medium eggplants (peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes)
• 2-3 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced)
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 2-3 Tbsp more olive oil
• 1 C fresh cilantro
• juice of 1-2 lemons

Soak the eggplant in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes.

Then place in a baking pan along with the garlic and oil; stir and bake for 20-30 minutes in a preheated 350F oven until soft, stirring occasionally.

In a blender or food processor, place the roasted eggplant and garlic and 2-3 Tbsp of olive oil and mix until smooth.

Add half the lemon juice and cilantro; mix well; let sit 5 minutes and taste. Adjust seasonings.
