Using a fork, poke the eggplant at least a dozen times. Place on a
bking sheet and broil on all sides about 4 to 5 inches from the
source of heat. Turn often until the eggplant is browned nicely all
over. Total time will be about 45 minutes.

Remove the eggplant from the broiler and allow to cool for a few
mintues. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise, and scoop out the soft
insides, discarding the browned peel. In a bowl mash the eggplant
and the remaining ingredients, except the garnishes, with a fork. Do
not use a food processor or blender as you do not want too smooth a
paste.

Serve on a plate with the oilve oil and parsley sprinkled over the
top. Guests dip the bread wedges into the Baba Ghanoush and go
directly to heaven without passing go!

Serves 4-6 as an appetizer.
