1 oz Flaked almonds
1 sm Onion, finely chopped
1 Garlic clove, crushed
1 tb Fresh parsley, chopped

Preheat oven to 400F/200C.

Slice eggplants in half & rub oil lightly over the
skin. Place face down on a greased tray & bake 1 hour.
Leave to cool. Scoop out the insides & blend with the
almonds, onion, garlic & parsley. Season well & chill
thoroughly.

Cut cumcumber into 8 x 1 inch rounds. Scoop out the
middle of each round to form a small case, be careful
