Eggplant Caviar - Astrid Bear
Eggplant Caviar, which MFK Fischer has two great recipes for, in An Alphabet for Gourmets. "Z is for Zakuski", zakuski being a Russian spread of a zillion appetizer-like dishes. Basically you cook you eggplant until completely soft (one way is baking, halved on a cookie sheet) scrape it out of the skin, and simmer with chopped tomatoes and onion, and some vinegar and spices until a thick paste that you can cool down and spread on buttered dark pumpernickel or whatever amuses you. Double yum!
