To prepare eggplant, trim top and end off. Split horizontally in two and
lightly salt. Allow to stand 15 minutes. Pat off any moisture with a paper
towel. Paint top with vegetable oil. Place cut side down on a shallow
microwave ovenproof baking sheet or pan. Cover with wax paper. Microwave on
High, 12-16 minutes. Test to see if eggplant is done by piercing with a
fork. It should be absolutely tender. If not, cook in additional increments
of 3 minutes on high.

Peel skin from eggplant. Place in work bowl of food processor. Add

helps produce a smooth texture and creamy appearance). Taste and adjust
seasonings - adding more salt, liquid smoke or vinegar as required. To
serve, fold in additional capers, tomatoes and green pepper.
