Eggplant caviar 7/10

Eggplant caviar

Don't worry, there's no actual caviar in this recipe! Instead, eggplant caviar is a delicious, healthy spread to eat as an appetizer or snack. Cut 2 eggplants in half, lengthwise. Make small incisions using a knife, and stuff with sliced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil and bake for 45 minutes at 350 °F. Then remove only the pulp of the eggplant and discard the skins. Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper, and refrigerate before serving.
