Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes about 2 cups (6 to 8 servings)

Ingredients

1 large or 2 medium-small eggplants (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon light olive oil
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt or soy yogurt
1/4 to 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. 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.
