"Charring the eggplant under a broiler gives it a rich, smoky flavor, but if you've got the outdoor grill going, by all means char the eggplant there."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat the broiler. Crumple a large piece of aluminum foil and line a baking sheet (the crumpled foil keeps the eggplant from rolling around.)

Step 2

Rub the eggplant with olive or vegetable oil and broil them, turning frequently, until the skin in charred all over. This will take from 20 - 30 minutes, depending on the size of the eggplant.

Step 3

When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and let the flesh drain in a colander for about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Chop the eggplant and stir it up with the onion, garlic, tomato, olives, parsley, yogurt, oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 5

Pile the dip into a serving bowl and set it out with the bread. Makes about 3 cups
