The dish I have for you today is a typical Lebanese starter made with eggplant, and it is one of the many plates of Lebanese Mezze; in some Lebanese restaurants, you can find up to 30 dishes of Mezze. The ingredients are easy to find and the the preparation itself is relatively simple. Vegetarians, take note: this is a very nutritious and delicious treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 eggplant of 500 grams approximately
• 1 medium onion
• 1 red tomato
• 1 clove of garlic

Preparation:

• Grill the eggplant very well from all sides until soft
• When it cools, peel it carefully, taking care not to leave any part of the skin of the eggplant
• Crush the clove of garlic in a large bowl, add salt and then add the eggplant. Mix together with a fork until nearly smooth with a few a chunks
• Add lemon juice as desired
• Chop the onion and the tomato finely
• Finally, place the eggplant in a plate and add the onion then the tomato on top with some olive oil for taste
