Ingredients

1 eggplant (1 1/2-pounds)

1/2 medium onion, grated or finely chopped

2 tablespoons capers

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

4 pitas

1 tomato, peeled, seeded, and diced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Set the eggplant on a baking pan or dish and pierce it a few times with a knife.

Bake it until it becomes soft, about 30 minutes; it should pierce easily with a fork.

Remove it from the oven and let cool.

When completely cooled, peel the skin off and put the flesh into a blender or food processor.

Add the onions, capers, and lemon juice.

Turn on the machine, then gradually add the olive oil.

Continue to blend until the eggplant is smooth and creamy.

Transfer to a bowl and stir in the oregano, salt, pepper, and vinegar.

Warm the pitas briefly on a baking sheet, then cut each of them into 8 wedges.

Arrange them on a plate or platter.

Just before serving, stir the tomato and parsley into the dip.

Serve and Enjoy

Yum. I just love capers in anything and never would have thought to pair them with egg plant. I love the sound of this recipe, so will be making it really soon.

I loved the flavor and the capers added a great piquant taste. I'm a sucker for vinegar and capers and this dish was spot-on delicious. We ran out of pita and ummm, some of us just used a spoon to finish the dip. They shall remain nameless.
