Description: This is a great and easy food to prepare. Just be sure to prepare it the day before (so it can chill) and serve it with the crackers of your choice.

Serves: About 20

Ingredients: 4 medium eggplants  
  Pita bread
 2 garlic cloves 
 Fresh chopped mint
 Olive oil  
 Salt
 
Method:

Take the eggplants and cut each of them in half. Sprinkle a little bit of salt on each of the cut eggplants. Then set them aside for a day or so. (This will help get rid of the bitter taste of the eggplant.)

After the eggplant rests for a day or two, wash away any dark liquid that may be on the top. This dark liquid is where the bitter taste comes from.

Preheat the oven to 350° F. When the oven reaches temperature, place the eggplant in to oven for twenty or thirty minutes. The exact time depends on the size of the eggplant.

When the eggplant is well cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool. Then remove the peels from the eggplant and place in a blender. Add in a little salt, garlic, mint, and a little bit of olive oil. Then blend well until everything is mixed together.

Remove from blender and serve with Pita bread.
