IMAM BAYILDI

Ingredients:
------------
2 large eggplants
2 cups olive oil (the best quality you can afford)
1 large tomato
2 large onions
1 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
1 tblsp paprika
2 tblsp parsley
4-6 cloves garlic
Instructions:
-------------
Slice the eggplants in half and coat them with all but 3 tbsp of salt.
Cover with paper towels and place a weight on them to drain. Let sit 15
minutes.
Dice tomato, onions and mince garlic. Saute until garlic is brown and
onions are golden in 1/2 cup olive oil.
Add parsley, lemon juice, sugar, salt and paprika to taste to the tomato
mixture. Cook until about the texture of jam.
Scoop out a hollow in the center of each eggplant half. Wipe away the
salt. Place 2 of the eggplant halves face down in a skillet w/ half of
remaining olive oil, cook until browned and olive olive oil is absorbed.
Repeat using other halve and remaining oil.
Place the eggplant halves in a baking dish and fill the hollows with
tomato mixture. Place in 400 degree oven for twenty minutes. Serve,
garnished with paprika.
Alternately, the eggplant can be chopped and sauted in chunks until soft
and brown. In that case the baking step is omitted and the eggplant is
simply mixed with the tomato mixture.
