Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the eggplant into a roasting pan lined with foil and bake it at 350F for an hour, turning it over so that each side is baked throughout (at the end of the oven, it should be pretty soft when pressed).

  2. Put the eggplant in a bowl and cover with plastic and then foil. This will help with peeling the eggplant.

  3. Peel the eggplant, removing the stem and the outer skin.

  4. Place it in a colander, put a plate on top, then some kind of weight on top of the plate, letting the liquid drain (the liquid contains the bitterness) for about an hour.

  5. Meanwhile, sauté the onion in some olive oil, over medium heat until golden.

  6. After the liquid has been drained, finely chop the eggplant and place it in a bowl.
