Ingredients (view qty in metric system instead)
pounds eggplant 1/4 cup diced white onion 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano 1/3 cup olive oil 3 tablespoons lemon juice 1 baguette
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Do not peel eggplants; pierce in several places with a fork. Place whole eggplants in an ovenproof glass dish. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until very soft (the skin will scorch slightly). Remove eggplants from oven and set aside to cool.
Cut eggplants in half lengthwise and scrape pulp from skin. Place pulp in a food processor and pulse to coarsely chop; do not purée. Drain off any liquid that may separate from the pulp. Add onion, garlic, parsley and oregano and pulse to combine.
With the motor running, add oil and lemon juice in a thin stream. The mixture should be a thick, slightly chunky purée. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for several hours.
Shortly before serving time, preheat a broiler or grill. Cut bread into ½-inch slices. Arrange slices in a single layer on broiler pan or directly on the grill. Cook about 2 minutes per side or until bread is lightly browned and crisp, but still soft and chewy inside.
Arrange bread on a serving plate and serve them with the eggplant topping on the side.
Serving Size: 12
