Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large eggplant
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons Tahini
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup yogurt (I used low fat yogurt)
3 tablespoons olive oil (I didn't use it)
several whole olives (didn't use)

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place whole eggplant on a baking sheet and bake until
outer shell is crisp and inside is soft and mushy. A fork should pass easily t
hrough the eggplant when done (about 1 hour). Let the eggplant cool, then remov
e and discard black skin and green cap. Spoon the insides into a food processor
or a blender. Add grlic, Tahini, salt and lemon juice and yogurt. Puree until
creamy. Spoon into a serving dish and garnish with olive oil and whole olives.
Serve cold or warm with sliced bread and/or vegetables for dipping.
