Eggplant Caviar

• baking dish
• knife
• large spoon
• food processor (optional)
• large frying pan
• wooden spoon

• 1 large eggplant
• 2 T olive oil
• 1 large onion, minced
• pinch of salt, preferably smoked
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 T tomato paste
• pepper
• chopped parsley, for garnish

Bake whole eggplant in the baking dish for about an hour, until soft. Cut in half and set aside to cool.

Scoop out filling and discard skin. Chop the flesh into tiny pieces, or pulse in the food processor until finely chopped but not puréed.

Meanwhile, heat oil over medium heat, add onions and salt, and sauté, stirring frequently, until translucent and very soft, about 10 minutes.

Add garlic and sauté for a minute, add tomato paste and cook another minute.

Stir in eggplant and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Season with pepper, garnish, and serve warm.
