+====== Rustic Eggplant Dip ======
+/* Description */
+[[http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/rustic-grilled-greek-eggplant-dip.aspx | Fine Cooking 93:]] Grilling the eggplant adds a wonderful smoky flavor. But broiling or roasting it makes a dip that’s just as delicious.
+<WRAP right>{(rater>id=100|name=Rustic Eggplant Dip|type=rate|headline=off)}</WRAP>
+|**Preheat:** °|**Yield:** 2 cups||
+|**Prep:** 0:00|**Wait:** 4:00|**Cook:** 0:00|
+====== Ingredients ======
+small eggplants (1-1/2 lb. total)
+Tbs. plus 1 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
+/4 cup seeded and finely diced fresh tomato
+Tbs. minced yellow onion
+-1/2 tsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
+tsp. fresh lemon juice
+tsp. red-wine vinegar
+/2 tsp. chopped fresh oregano or marjoram
+/2 tsp. chopped fresh thyme
+/2 tsp. chopped fresh mint
+Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
+====== Directions ======
+  - Prepare a medium gas or charcoal grill fire (charcoal will give a smokier flavor). Prick the eggplants once with the tip of a paring knife to prevent them from swelling and exploding and rub all over with 1 Tbs. of the oil. Grill, covered but turning every few minutes, until the eggplants are very soft inside and the skins are charred, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
+  - Cut the stems off the eggplants and peel away the charred skin; discard the stems and skin. Coarsely chop the flesh and transfer it to a medium bowl. Add the remaining 1 tsp. oil and the tomato, onion, parsley, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano or marjoram, thyme, mint, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Mix well.
+  - Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
+  - Season to taste with more salt. Serve cool or at room temperature with fresh pita wedges or toasted pita chips.
+**Can’t grill the eggplant? Use the oven.**
+  * To broil the eggplants, position a rack 6 inches from the broiler and heat the broiler to high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Prick the eggplants once with a paring knife to prevent them from exploding. Put them on the baking sheet and rub all over with 1 Tbs. olive oil. Broil, turning once, until the skin is charred in spots and the flesh is tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
+  * If your oven doesn’t have a broiler element, you can roast the eggplants instead. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 450°F. Prick and oil the eggplants as directed above. Roast until the skins are wrinkled and the eggplant flesh is very soft, about 1 hour.
+====== Notes ======
+  * The eggplant can be grilled or broiled several hours or up to 2 days before making the salad. For best flavor, make the dip a day ahead.
