Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Arrange the whole eggplant or eggplants on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake until completely collapsed, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove and let cool. When cool enough to handle, remove the stems and slip off the peels. Chop the pulp into small bite-size chunks.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and sauté over low heat until golden, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Combine the chopped eggplant with the garlic, yogurt, and parsley in a serving container. Season with salt and pepper, and stir together. Serve at room temperature.
