crinkle and the insides become very soft.

2. When the eggplants are cool enough to handle, scoop out the insides.

3. Using a food processor puree the pulp with the lemon juice, tahini,
garlic, parsley, and salt until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

4. Line a warmed pita pocket with leaf lettuce, spoon in the baby and serve

(87) and Carrot Salad (p321) *For a nondairy alternative, top with chopped
fresh tomatoes, chopped black olives, and alfalfa sprouts. Per 6-oz serving
